Reason for MBA
I want to pivot from corporate finance into corporate banking client coverage as an associate, ideally in the 500M to 2B or 2B to 20B revenue space.
Do I even have a shot at NYU Stern FT? If not I'm also considering NYU Langone PT or Fordham PT. My main focus is to receive a high quality education (pedigree included) and a solid network. I understand PT doesn’t offer the same career switching opportunities but I'm confident in my abilities to leverage the school network to get me where I want to go.
Thank you!

Hi ColloquialF,
Despite your low GPA, there are definitely some strong elements to your profile as you said.
A high test score will help to outweigh your 3.05 GPA. While your GRE is quite strong, you could potentially benefit from raising your quant score. In addition, taking graduate-level courses is another way to demonstrate your ability to succeed academically in a way that test scores may not show.
Personal MBA Coach regularly works with applicants who have low GPAs and get into top programs by securing high test scores and putting together strong applications.
While I would not rule out Stern's full-time MBA program, recruiting still happens both on campus and through individual networks via part-time programs. One of Personal MBA Coach’s first part-time clients went to NYU Stern many years ago and has a leading job at Google today!
