Hi @aammii , I hope you are doing well.

Your profile presents both challenges and opportunities for MBA programs. The 2.79 GPA is a significant hurdle, as it is below the average for most competitive schools, and will require a strong explanation or evidence of academic growth, such as professional certifications or leadership in your role. Are you planning to take GMAT/GRE? With 4 years of work experience in e-commerce, you seem to have valuable industry expertise. Your career goals are clear, staying within e-commerce, but it will be important to demonstrate how an MBA will help you accelerate your impact within this field. You shall consider schools that value diverse backgrounds and can overlook a lower GPA if the rest of your profile is strong.

As we have very little information now, we cannot comment much on your profile. If you’d like, we are happy to discuss your leadership skills, impact created, challenges faced, awards and achievements and extracurriculars to assess your chances to top B-schools and strengthen your application with impactful stories.

Join the exclusive webinar on “INSEAD Jan 26 intake and Application strategies!”

Cheers!
