Hi everyone,
I started off my studies OK but then did horribly in my middle two years only to pick-up steam in the last year. My GPA at graduation was 2.95.
During my time at university I was president of my student organization, and worked approx 16-24 hours a week. Furthermore, I was the first in my family to attend university, therefore didn't have the guidance necessary to achieve high grades, and to make matters worse, I was doing so well with extra-curricular activities and work (I was working in a entry-level management position in a distribution center for a national grocer) that school was not a priority anymore.
Since graduation, I've fared pretty well and landed great gigs around the world (Europe, South-America, North America) working for blue-chip companies and now working as a specialist for a government organization in Canada.
In light of my application, on top of a 700+ GMAT, I've been taking a graduate diploma part-time and my GPA at graduation of this diploma should be around 3.7-3.8.
Ultimately my question is, do I have a realistic shot at any of the M7 schools? FWIW - I am a white male.
