Hi!

I am a 21 y/o Indian, with an Under Graduation Major in Accounting ad Finance from a highly reputed University in India, with a 3.2 GPA. I scored a 730 on my GMAT.
My GPA dropped fro 3.5 in the first year to 3.2 in the last year because i was involved in a multifold of activities. I was Heading the Finance Club of our college, and was also Head of Department for the biggest college fest in the city. Apart from this, I was an intern at Teach for India. I have previously worked with People for Animals, as well.
Post graduation, I worked at my family-managed business for a year, and then decided to begin a venture as an entrepreneur. I will be applying for the LBS R1.

Is my low GPA a major drawback in my profile?

Would highly appreciate an input on this!

Did you apply? What's the status?
