Assuming other aspects of application (GMAT, work experience, recommendations, extracurriculars) are strong, which schools are more likely to admit someone with a low GPA? And on the flip side, which schools put more emphasis on GPA?

My sense is that Stanford, Columbia, and NYU Stern put slightly more weight on the GMAT than other programs. MIT Stern probably puts a little more weight on the GPA than others. However, realize that at all top programs there is no formula and it is a holistic, subjective process,

Best,
