Hi @beatrixkiddo, I hope you are doing well! With a good GMAT score of 710 and relevant experience in M&A advisory and consulting, you bring valuable skills to your MBA application. However, the low GPA of 2.5 from a top university may present a challenge, especially in a competitive field like finance, if possible, retaking the GMAT to aim for 10 or 20+ points will enhance your profile. To improve your chances, focus on highlighting your achievements and leadership roles in your professional experience, while addressing the GPA with context and growth since then. Strengthening your leadership exposure and seeking opportunities that align with your post-MBA goals in private equity or corporate development will further enhance your profile. Targeting schools like LBS, INSEAD, IESE, and ESSEC could be a good strategy, as they value professional growth and diverse backgrounds alongside academic performance. You can take a look at this BLOG.

If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to learn more about your profile and provide a detailed evaluation. Please feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.
