2.4 GPA - 760 GMAT - Startup - S&T -- Chances for m7? 07 Apr 2016, 11:01

Would appreciate any help in regards to my chances of getting into a top 10 MBA Program:

Stats:
2.4 GPA (top 50 Uni - 4 years out of school)
760 GMAT
Started own NPO 501(c)3
Started own company during my senior year of college that grosses 2 m/yr and employs 5 people
Now in Sales and Trading at a large US bank

I know the GPA is low but how much will my GMAT, EC's, and work experience help offset it? Chances of getting into an M7?

Thanks again

I'm waitlisted to Kellogg with a 2.6 gpa in undergrad and 750 gmat. So you've got a shot.

But like they say each application is a little different. I've been out of school quite a bit longer than 4 years, but I also started a small nfp.

Just browse the discussions of all schools - on the main page you will see a chart
calling-all-sloan-mit-applicants-2016-intake-class-of-199975.html

You will see what GPA people had and what their chances were. Granted that's not 100% of applicants, that's many of the GMAT Club members. The chances are not great, I will be honest. They are bad actually, but not impossible. You can find a few discussions about the topic- here is an older but more complete one: low-undergrad-gpa-success-stories-79977.html - people are bitching about 2.99 being low and 3.19 being low - you get the gist.

2.4 is going to require major effort to get into top 20 (you will need a good consultant, start working now to improve your profile). GMAT alone won't be enough to off-set that 2.4 number. You need to demonstrate maturity, commitment, and responsibility.
