Hi. Sorry about the long wait, is 2.4 a western GPA or is that a local GPA from your country?

Just trying to gauge how low it is... and have you submitted an optional essay explaining the GPA in case it is low?

Hi bb, it’s from a US college and yes I submitted optional essays to explain what caused it. Have you seen anyone that has similar profile successfully get in a T15 program. I’m thinking whether I’m going to reapply or not

Sorry, I missed that you had a 3.7 graduate GPA. That is the GPA that will be considered for your application and that will go into the evaluation so your low GPA is not really the reason for any lukewarm reception that you’re getting....

I have known an applicant from China from last year who worked for TikTok, had gmat at 760, and she could not break through the top 15 in the US for some reason. She got into Insead and other European programs but none of the US ones. It was pretty puzzling to me.

Hi theB
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Sorry to see that you have been dinged at some of your target programs. Were you able to identify what might be going wrong? Like BB mentioned, your GPA should not be a concern. Plus, your years of experience also look decent to me. It will be very important to identify what might be going wrong. You also have a strong GRE, so that again cancels out as a reason for your ding. If you like, feel free to connect for a detailed discussion regarding your profile to help identify any shortcomings in your application.
