Most top Executive MBA programs recognize that for EMBA applicants, their college experiences were far in the past. Many EMBA programs have students with an average of 13 years of work experience. In that case, does the undergraduate GPA represent the skills and abilities professionals have at the time of applying for an EMBA? In most cases, the admissions committees have decided that the college GPA can lack relevancy. A candidate who might have been unfocused during college may have matured over the years into a highly accomplished, focused, and impactful leader in the professional world. For this reason, many schools give candidates the opportunity to “override” their undergraduate GPAs to gain admission to a top school if they can show that they have great professional accomplishments and strong business and quantitative skills today.

For example, schools as prestigious as Wharton and MIT sometimes admit candidates who have college GPAs around 2.1 or 2.4 when the applicant has a stellar professional record of achievement, a strong standardized test score, and an application that presents a compelling portrait of their skills and potential. Top schools, of course, aren’t eager to publicize it when they admit candidates with low GPAs. Choosing to forgo reporting the average GPA of their matriculating EMBA students on their websites enables schools to enjoy more freedom to accept exceptional candidates who unfortunately have low college GPAs. For candidates who are trying to achieve admission to a top EMBA program despite their low college GPA, this is good news. Just know that you may be successful in your pursuit of a top EMBA if you can present excellent essays, shining recommendations, and other metrics that attest to your achievements and strong skills today.
