Profile assessment - 26/Ivy/GMAT 780

Hi,

Kudos on your GMAT and work experience.

The only concern is the low GPA. So you'll want to use the optional essay to explain the GPA. Also hoping there's an upward trend after a poor start?

We have worked with clients who got into great schools with GPAs lower than yours. Happy to discuss further if you are interested. Just send me your contact info. https://marveladmissions.com/contact-us/

Good luck!
