Recently my university elected to make pass/fail the default option for classes due to the coronavirus and classes being online. I believe you can elect to take classes for grade, but I was wondering how this would affect MBA admissions. My gpa is currently at a 3.9+ but I'm kinda hoping to check out with pass/fail as an option...
In my final semester as well and going into BB IB after college.
Want to hear how MBAs would look at this.
I hear where brobby is coming from, but I respectfully disagree. If you have a 3.9 and in 4-5 years apply with a high GMAT, impressive work experience, leadership, and a competitive app, no one is going to care if you took everything P/F during this epidemic when all is turned upside down. If your grades were mediocre or had a downward trend, I'd argue differently, but not given what you've said above.
You've already proved yourself academically.
Hello Skullcrushers.
I have fairly close connections with former admissions directors since several work for my company, Accepted, which is an admissions consultancy that has been in business since 1994.
I am also the co-founder of the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants (AIGAC) and served as its first president. I have met with, listened to presentations by, and talked to admission directors from most top MBA programs at AIGAC's annual conferences.
However, by far the most influential and informative of my interactions with MBA admissions directors have come either from hosting our old online chats (over 300 ) or from interviewing MBA admissions directors from around the world for https://blog.accepted.com/listen-mba/</a">Admission Straight Talk, our podcast.
Best, Linda
