GPA vs. the chance to get offers from top business school

Your GPA will be seen as below avg now other things like the quality of your school and rigor of your major will certainly factor in so it is not an absolute measure. Also, your GMAT can raise the perception of your aptitude so this is another area you can use as a leverage point

If your GMAT is solid and higher than the average then there's less pressure on the GPA for sure. It's a holistic process - you're going to need to make this up in other areas your application but it is not going to dictate the decision. Also what would be a 3.3 or 3.4 in one country would be the equivalent of a 3.6 in another. For this reason I think it's often a good idea to get a WES evaluation. My clients have included that in their applications and I think that it does help. Just keep in mind this is a holistic process if you can show how you add diversity in terms of background, industry experience at cetera then that will definitely help your cause. One of my clients recently graduated from Sloan he is Asian, tough demographic, had a 3.3 from UW Foster and so so GMAT score that I think was a 700. In his words "zero extracurriculars." However we did a really great job of articulating the uniqueness of his work experience, impact at work, and the leadership he demonstrated in his parents garment business.
