Hi
Ravi05885,
Beginning with your GMAT, a 650 Score falls within the average range for your target schools. The GPA is a bit on the lower end, but your work experience sounds fairly good. However, 10+ years might be on the higher end for some MBA programs. So, to confirm your eligibility, I would suggest you to drop a mail to your target schools before you proceed towards the application process. I would also suggest you to keep a few executive MBA programs as alternatives.
Yes, the universities focus on GPA and GMAT scores, but to make a decision they take the overall profile into consideration.
So, yes, a low GPA is a weakness in your profile but not a complete setback provided that you can back your dip in grades with a valid reason.
A subpar GPA can be compensated if you are able to brush up on other aspects of your profile, for example, the extracurriculars you were involved in or internships you undertook. Apart from this, make sure that you highlight your professional experience and workplace achievements wisely. This can act as a valuable asset to your application. You can further talk about your active participation in extra-curricular activities or social volunteering which is considered a major bonus.
So, do not hold yourself back from applying to your target B-schools and start building a strong application to receive admits from top universities in Canada.
