You have a good profile. Strong SOP/essays will surely get you to the interview stage, which would be the main hurdle. All the best!

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out – great information and questions! I wanted to first answer your question around lower GPA – yes, you can definitely offset a low GPA. We have a great article on our blog around this (https://www.vantagepointadmissions.com/ ... plications), and it sounds like you are already going in the right direction with your CPA license and additional classes.
My biggest feedback to you would be to create a highly compelling story that shows a clear rationale for why you are looking to attain an MBA. You want to do everything you can to stand out – the majority of applicants are male, so you’d be part of that competitive set (even with your Malaysian nationality, I would still opt to be overprepared). I would make sure your story includes a cohesive narrative of 1) who you are, your passion, and your goals, 2) why you are qualified for a top 10-25 MBA program and 3) why an MBA is essential to reach your goals. Having a clear narrative of why you need an MBA at this moment of your life will make your application successful, and show the strong need for an MBA while also showcasing your fit with top programs.
If you'd like to chat live about your profile and some of the questions you have, feel free to email me at [email protected].
Kindly,
Eileen
