You have a competitive profile for the schools you have applied to. Your grad GPA is really the only blemish. Is there a reason for the drop in grades? Did you provide it?

Best,

Thank for for the prompt reply Linda. :)

The Grad GPA is a concern for me as well. I fell sick in December 2009 and lost a lot of ground when I joined back after the Christmas break. I will be mentioning this in the optional essay.

I was also looking at some online courses offered through Stanford EPGY, UCLA extension. Good grades in these courses might help in mitigating (to some extent) the low grad GPA in LSE.

Would Ross, Duke and Rotman be "stretches" for me?

Many Thanks again!

I think you are a competitive applicant for Ross, Duke and Rotman and encourage you to apply to them.

FYI, we have a Q&A with Ross admissions directors Soojin Kwon Koh and Jonathan Fuller today at 10 AM PT. Please feel free to come.

Best,
Linda
