To overcome low college grades, your best (not only) bet is the GMAT/GRE/EA. If you’re still struggling, I would recommend completing MBA Math. It is also a requirement for all incoming Fuqua students
thank you

Guys if I got to Fuqua campus without much of a reason (I live semi-close) is there anything I can do/see to fall in love with the school or get a better sense of culture? I ask this question a lot, but I just believe the best shot you have is if you fall in love with a school...
Depends on what you like, right? If you like basketball, visit the basketball museum. If you like gardens, sarah p. duke gardens is an unbeatable spot to watch the sunset. if you like food, jb duke can keep you busy for a while.

I would’ve done anything to have had this opportunity, go sit in a class, explore the campus, spend a day with some current students. Don’t force the falling in love part, if it’s meant to be, you’ll feel it!

will a good gmat score and like 2-3 years work exp compensate a low gpa?
Dont think about it from this perspective. The duration of the experience is not as relevant as the quality of the experience. Good GMAT score isn’t as relevant as your perseverance. Low GPA isn’t as relevant either because you can take up MBA math and demonstrate your quantitative abilities

What kind of work accomplishments are good to highlight for tuck? Considering I don’t have many. Didnt have much change in my designation for 4 years of my career. That wasnt because of my performance, it just never worked out that way.

In person or virtual works too? Would this session that we just attended with Morgan make us eligible for the waiver? If yes, how to get access to it? Thanks!

I think there were a select few waivers handed out for this session!

Didn’t apply to Tuck :P but I’d say leadership experiences, inclusivity, high-impact projects (be it social or financial) would help a lot. It’s all about how you tell your story tbh because what you did might not be relevant in your opinion, but it can be relevant to someone else

set targets for each and if you’ve fulfilled those, then you can move on to other things. For me, being from an overly represented demographic, I set a target of a 740+ GMAT. Work ex is something that you don’t have control over, but if career wise this feels like the right time, don’t give this much thought. And extra curriculars also should not be just with the aim of making a more holistic profile, the adcoms will see right through it. Do meaningful things and bring about genuine impact. Quality > Quantity here.
extra curriculars have to be like national level or just something we do because of passion or interest?

I’m assuming this is for Fuqua and not Tuck xD

But if your work has grown, the title need not have changed. Not every industry/company has rapid promotions or frequent title changes. As long as you can demonstrate a steady upward career trajectory. You’re all set!

If on the other hand, the work has remained the same as well, maybe it’s better to reassess whether the MBA is an escape from this rather than a justified next step!

The latter. But the former - by extension - includes the latter :)
