Hello!
I am Eren. I am 25, from Istanbul/Turkey, white, Muslim male.
I graduated from University of Toronto - Economics-HR/IR in 2013 with a 2.75 GPA. My senior year GPA was 3.76 and my major GPA is 3.45. My GPA had risen each term, starting from low 2.1s, ending with 3.7s. The bad elective choices has decreased my GPA while my major courses were mostly As and Bs.
After graduating, I started my own social media network, specifically for joining Turkish university students in one platform. I successfully established the platform, did various marketing activities and attracted thousands of students from all 172 universities in Turkey. Than I sold the codes of the site at the time I decided to start my professional career and closed the site. At the same time, I started working at the leader cosmetics producer and retailer in Turkey as an International Trade Marketing Specialist. I have been working here for about 1.5 years and now I am responsible in all marketing related activities in 40 countries, including CIS countries, Middle East and East Europe. These countries add up to around 50% of companies total revenue.
My GMAT is 710 (50Q 34V) (planning to retake)
I am also a licensed Muay Thai fighter.
I was wondering if I could have any chances in top 10 MBA programs with my low GPA (maybe by increasing my GMAT)
My goals are Stern and Tuck, are those feasible?
I am also interested in schools in Asia - CEIBS, HKUST or similar. Are those more feasible for me?
Thank you so much for your help

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your information. Your target schools along with others in the top 10 are going to be a stretch given your GPA. While there are things you can do to overcome this, do know that these are indeed stretch programs. Given that you're only 25, you have time on your side, so I would consider developing an alternative transcript. You can take 2-3 MBA level classes at a local community college or university and earn A's in those courses to demonstrate your ability to take on a rigorous curriculum. This in conjunction with a 730+ GMAT will certainly help your academic profile.
Also, keep in mind the other aspects of your application will have to be stellar. I think you have some interesting stories/experiences to draw from. In assessing whether you target schools in the US vs. those in Asia, I'd turn the question back to you to get a better understanding of what it is you want to do after your MBA and where you want to work?
If you think you can use our help to developing one cohesive story, do let us know! Best of luck! Also, feel free to check out our free resources to get you started! Best of luck this season!
