Hello!
I passionately want to attend CBS, have done thorough research, attended grad fairs, visited campus etc but I have an insecurity about my profile that is really making me feel so insecure. It's my GPA.
With a lot of work, I do think it's worth it to try, especially if I apply J term or early decision.
Can you please take a look at my stats, I'm open to any way I can improve:
-I graduated w/ a 2.0 (still battling my self esteem b/c of it) but I had EXTREME circumstances (mostly due to family) that contributed to that which I will highlight in my essay. However, that was 4 years ago.
-Since then, I've taken about 15 continuing education post bacc grad classes at NYU school of professional studies (continuing Ed type of program) in finance, Econ, math and writing
-I've also studied in Italy for a yr, taking three heavy quant classes
- done a 5 month teach abroad in Senegal, 3
Month financial analysis internship in South Africa
-I scorned 720 on my GMAT, am 31, African American & Haitian female and Brooklyn native
-for 2 years I've been a grad assistant of a 2 yr non profit that places 30 female state university of ny students (I also went to a SUNY) into highly prestigious internships like Clinton Foundation, state dept etc
-I'm on my community board's economic and social council
-I volunteer tutor refugee adults in the NYC area
-lastly I've worked as analyst at a mid tier firm for 2 yrs.
Although my undergrad gpa was 4 yrs ago, should I apply in j-term? Early decision (b/c Columbia really is the only school I want to go to), retake the gmat for a higher score or do something else all together to strengthen my chances?
Thank you!!

Hey there,
Great to hear from you!
I'd love to help you out.
To answer you properly I need two more pieces of info from you:
1. I need to understand more about what happened that led you to get a 2.0 (and isn't that a failing grade???)
2. To hear more about your work - what you did, how successful you were, what your title was, what company you worked for, how much leadership you had, etc.
Get back to me on this and I'll do my best to answer you,
Best,
Jon Frank
