Hi I would like to apologise in advance if I posted in the wrong forum.

I want to get into Schulich School of Business at York university.Their minimum GPA requirement is 3.0 and work experience 2 years.

However although I have a lower GPA of 2.92 but a work experience of around 5 years.Due to my low gpa will my application be considered?Will I get accepted if I get good LOR and a solid SOP and essays on top of a good GMAT?

Thanks.

­I-S-B - Applications get evaluated holistically i.e. acads/ GPA, work-ex, GMAT/ GRE, essays, interviews. This means a below-average component would have to be compensated by other stellar components, like this candidate with <3 years work-ex who landed a US Top-20 admit with scholarships, or this candidate with 650 GMAT who landed a HEC Paris MBA admit with scholarships.

The strength of your work-ex, a good GMAT/ GRE score, and a strong narrative in the essays/ LoR's can potentially compensate for the GPA. It's also good to connect with AdCom and discuss your profile, as B-schools including Schulich appreciate a pre-connect before submitting the application.

Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to reach out if you'd like support on your application journey.

As noted by others, you should verify this with the admissions committee directly. If this is a hard requirement, they may not take a look at your application. If it's a soft requirement, then you can apply but bear in mind that will put a lot of pressure on the other components of your application. It's a holistic process, but there are certain factors that could be deemed insurmountable.
