You should have, at the very minimum, a 3.3 GPA.

Since you have mentioned specifically a minimum 3.3 GPA, how an international applicant may check the GPA to meet your minimum criteria. I know you have already stated we don't have to convert the GPA, but what if the applicant's GPA post conversion is calculated below 3.3?
If this minimum criteria is make or break of an application, by giving certain guidelines would save time and effort of so many applicants.

Thanks for your time and effort on Gmat Club.

Hello Conrad

In the same realm of the latest GPA related questions, I want to know your thoughts on taking Continuing Education courses. Specifically, my undergraduate GPA is above the required GPA, but I did not score well in one of my entry level Accounting classes (I was a Management and Marketing major). Do you see value in me retaking that class, for credit, at an accredited institution?

Thanks

@ambaue4

We don't look at Continuing Education courses that applicants take. If you feel that there are good reasons behind a poor academic score, you should use the optional essay to explain.

Kind regards

Hi Conrad,
Any idea as to when the decision for R4 interviews should be coming out?

@TheCount

We are aiming to get the majority out either end of this week or early next week. The fact that I am in Asia right now, 8 timezones ahead of the team, makes this round a bit more challenging for us than previous rounds :-)

Hello Conrad,

My Toefl score is 104: Reading 29 / Listening 24 / Speaking 24 / Writing 27. This is not in line with your requirement of 110 / min 25 in each section.

Can I still apply ?

Many thanks in advance.

@kotikota

Apologies for the delay in replying. I am travelling at the moment and the wifi has been patchy.

As you mentioned, your TOEFL is below our minimum requirement but you can apply. If you are successful, you will have to take a language assessment from our Language Centre, who will then decide if you should retake the TOEFL and make that a requirement for admission.

Hi Conrad / Admissions team,

The 2012 career placement results are still not updated on the JBS site. Is this likely to be updated in the near future?
