Hi,
I'm wondering if my profile is competitive enough to apply for deferred MBA programs at M7 schools. I am pretty concerned about my education background (Mainly in China) and my GPA. Also, as for the test, I decide to shift to GRE after 3 trials at GMAT, but I don't know if GMAT is still better than GRE from AO's side. Do you mind taking a look and providing some insights?
