Hope so because I’m average as heck: GPA (3.2), undergrad (big ten school), and B4 consulting. Banking on my GMAT (760) to help get me some looks. Following this thread though.
There's def more than GPA and GMAT. WE, ECs, and essays (goals, why this specific MBA, etc...) are key.
It's all part of a one holistic story that binds your app together. You need to convince the school that your demonstrated success at work is going to make you a successful student leader, who will get a great job post-MBA and donate/support the program after.
Good stats (GPA/GMAT) prove you have the raw power to do well at b-school, but there's a lot more that go into being a successful student/biz leader and your essays demonstrate this w/ examples from your WE/ECs (leadership, teamwork, cross cultural professional stuff, etc...). All of this has to be tailored to the specific program (program's strengths, school culture, etc...etc...). WE/ECs are so much more than just 'ticking the box,' they're your opportunity to sell yourself for the specific school.
Good luck!!!
