7. Evaluation request/advice/comments
1. I am planning to apply to only Canadian Business Schools (Top 20) that offer 2-year MBA programs.
2. How many years of work experience should I ideally have for a competitive profile?
3. My college grades are very low. Will that affect my application like a LOT?? I am worried about this because I cannot change it now.
I explored my newfound social freedom at my university and because of that could not balance my academics and my life there. But despite low grades, I persevered and worked hard for campus placements - strengthened my aptitude, improved my communication skills and read about's company's fundamentals. Out of 120 students who applied for a job at my first company, only 8 received offers. I was one of them.
4. Do Why MBA and post-MBA goals look realistic? Will business schools find them achievable, or they would NOT take chances on me?
5. Any recommendations on schools or any particular aspect of my profile/GMAT/work experience, I'd really appreciate them.
I'm grateful that you've read this far and welcome your assessment of my profile.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you,

Thanks for reaching out. Please see our below responses:
1. I am planning to apply to only Canadian Business Schools (Top 20) that offer 2-year MBA programs.
A: Smart to apply to Canadian schools. You have a better shot here than anywhere else.
2. How many years of work experience should I ideally have for a competitive profile?
A: I would aim for 3-5 years of experience.
3. My college grades are very low. Will that affect my application like a LOT?? I am worried about this because I cannot change it now.
I explored my newfound social freedom at my university and because of that could not balance my academics and my life there. But despite low grades, I persevered and worked hard for campus placements - strengthened my aptitude, improved my communication skills and read about's company's fundamentals. Out of 120 students who applied for a job at my first company, only 8 received offers. I was one of them.
A: Yes, it will affect your chances but you can try to offer this as a rationale in your optional essay. Either way, you must retake the GMAT and score higher. If you do not, the schools will view the GMAT as a confirmation of your low GPA.
4. Do Why MBA and post-MBA goals look realistic? Will business schools find them achievable, or they would NOT take chances on me?
A: Your post-MBA goals look great! You need to articulate them as best you can in your application essays.
5. Any recommendations on schools or any particular aspect of my profile/GMAT/work experience, I'd really appreciate them.
A: This is a much more involved discussion. I would strongly recommend you get in touch with my team for a free consultation for a deeper conversation and a walkthrough of how our services can assist you throughout this process:
