Undergrad GPA - Dismal, sub 2.8 (took me 6 years to graduate, had to take a sabbatical and work for 2 years and pay my way through college due to dwindling finances)
1. 8 years of experience in technology consulting (post graduation) in Enterprise package solutions. Currently working as a Solution Architect/Lead at Deloitte. 15 successful projects, 11 clients, 10 industry verticals. International work ex in Nigeria, Congo and Japan.

Post MSx Goal is to head the Information technology division of a mid Sized supply chain firm. CIO in 5-10 years. Also a few ideas for a start up.

Hi SMQazi,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Your profile looks good on the surface. Starting with the stats, your undergrad GPA is quite low. And you do have a reason for low GPA, which I think AdComs will understand. You will also need a good GRE score to demonstrate your academic potential. Aiming for 330 or higher will work. You have an excellent 8 years of work experience. I see you have some international experience as well, and your knowledge of four languages will enhance your profile. In addition, your work experience in Parliament is impressive. I think your work profile is amazing, and it will assist you in compensating for your low GPA if presented properly. Aside from work experience and a record of success, intellectual brio and clarity of thinking are essential traits for MSx applicants. Your business expertise should be of high quality, that sharing it will enhance the peers' classroom engagement. The following are the primary selection criteria for MSx programs:
1) Intellectual vigor
2) Leadership successes and community service
3) Personal characteristics and contributions
4) Clarity of purpose.
Make sure you bring the aspects mentioned above to your profile. You have found a great non-profit foundation, and relevant experience will give your profile an edge. Your ECs are also interesting and will help you bring diversity. You may want to read an article on how to differentiate yourself in your MBA application essays; you will get the knowledge that will help you increase your chances of being admitted into the desired Business school. Although your past performances are a strong predictor of your potential, the program also considers your values and ambitions to determine how much you will benefit from and give to the MSx program. You will need to include your vision in your apps. Overall, your profile is excellent, and you have a shot at Stanford. After that, what will matter most in your application is how you connect all the experiential dots and build up a great story. If you'd like, we are happy to hop on a call sometime this week to brainstorm your chances together. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Cheers!

Hi,
I'm currently a third-year undergraduate at Cornell University studying CS. I have interned at a start-up and Amazon previously. I have some leadership experience in my clubs as well. My GPA is a 3.71. I currently have the option to intern at Microsoft over the summer in a software intern position or otherwise to intern at McKinsey over the summer as a Software Engineering Analyst. Would interning at McKinsey in a SWE role at all help my chances for a 2+2 MBA program or should I stick with Microsoft?
