I would like to aim for one of the top MBA programs in the US, but am not sure if my low undergraduate GPA can be offset by my high graduate GPA, area of study, and work experience. My goal is to get an MBA from a top rated program, with an excellent network, and global and inter-disciplinary focus. I am looking to apply in Round 1 this fall for a few top MBA programs (specifically Stanford, Berkeley, and UPenn) but if my odds of getting in are very low, then I would like to take another year to continue to improve my resume and perhaps retake the GMAT. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
