Hi everyone my name is Aman. I'm a humanities student. I did my undergrad at a low-ranked university in India. Now I'm planning to study MBA from the top 10 business schools in the US but I wonder if my undergrad schools rank will hold me back.
So I want to know can any candidate with a GPA of (4.0) from low ranked university compete with other fellow candidates with relatively less GPAs (3.5-3.8) but from a higher-ranked undergraduate Institute.
If not, then what should I do to make y profile more competitive?


ammu100,
If it helps, I did my humanities UG from a low-ranked University, got a mediocre GPA, and studied MBA at Yale.

What you cannot change, you shouldn't worry about; focus on a high GMAT (mine was 740), and excellent WorkEx & ECs
