Hi bennytapper,

mbaMission-specific board!).
Schools do look at your application and profile holistically... so certainly doing well during a masters degree is a plus vs not having that masters or not doing well during it. And as makes sense, a tougher and/or more quantitative masters with strong grades will look even more positive. Yes the undergrad GPA is still reported and a statistic cited in rankings and class profiles etc, so it cannot be erased... really depends upon the caliber of schools you apply to, and the competition i.e. other applicants that year, and other elements of your profile, on how much of a hindrance that might be. Certainly nailing the GMAT or GRE can really help demonstrate your likelihood of excelling academically in the program! Finally, since you mentioned that you are currently doing your masters, not sure when you are thinking about b-school and whether you are full time or part time currently... but if doing a full time masters, you may wish to gain some additional experience afterwards before applying to the MBA... for a more holistic
profile review and resume look, feel free to register for a free 30 minute consultation with us at any point if interested, at

Good luck to you!
