Hello Team,
I am an Indian female who is applying for a second MBA after 3 years of work experience from a feeder company in financial services. My concern is my low GPA (2.8/4) in my first MBA from a tier 1 business school. I was working on a small social impact venture on the side during the two years that did impact my GPA. My GPA during undergrad (non- engineering) was 3.7 and my GMAT score is 710.
My scores in quant based courses are high in both undergrad and first MBA - do I have a shot at HBS, Stanford GSB and Wharton, purely from an academic point of view?
Thanks for you time.

We appreciate you posting in our forum. In short, you are probably going to have a very hard time getting a second MBA from one of these programs. Those are schools that have very little room for error when it comes to their applicants. From an academic perspective, your GPA from your first MBA and your GMAT score are going to be handicaps and you are coming from a somewhat competitive demographic. Do you believe you have any outstanding x-factors that might make you a unique, strong candidate otherwise?
Also, there is the issue of a second MBA. You should double check with each program you end up considering, but here is some research to get you started:
Schools that do NOT accept 2nd MBA applicants: Tuck, Haas, Fuqua, Owen (Vanderbilt), Goizueta (if MBA was done in the US)
Schools that do accept 2nd MBA applicants: Wharton, Sloan, Ross, Kellogg (for their 1-year MBA)
The best thing you can do is put together a list of all the schools that interest you and then send out a uniform (but personally specific) email to each admissions office inbox about this inquiry. This way you can have clear responses in writing.
Please reach out to us at Admissionado if you need help with your applications materials or strategy.
