Hi,
I'm thinking of applying to a few MBA programs next year.
I have a undergraduate degree from a non US university (I guess it's not one of the most renowned universities) where I was top of the class. My GPA was around 3.9. I then got accepted right out of undergrad to an Ivy for a masters in economics and Policy, and in spite of trying throughout to raise my GPA I ended up graduating with a 3.2. I took some of the most difficult courses while interning throughout. I thought internships would be more helpful in landing a job at that point.
I have worked three years as a strategy consultant at a well known Washington based development finance institution. It's very difficult to get in there. Then shifted to work at a Big four consulting firm in Asia.
My Gmat is 710.
I'm really worried that my masters GPA is going to lie a big red flag in my application. I would preferably like to attend the same business school of the Ivy I attended. Or another similarly ranked school. So I would like to get some feedback.

Hi there Anna,
I think you're making a bigger deal of your masters GPA than you should be. It isn't exactly stunning but, painted in the right light, it could be a non-issue. I honestly think the rest of your application can be brought to support and mitigate that particular component.
You have some great potential in your profile and there's a lot there to work with!

Anna, Don't worry about it toooo much. The UG GPA is far more important, and although your GPA is not stellar in your Masters, it's not bad either, and not even something you need to explain.
