Hi Stubor,

It's my pleasure to anwer your questions.

1) Though the score of GMAT is viewed as one of the best predictors of academic success, admission officers of top MBA programs typically give only a 20-30 percent weight to the score alone. The more important factors are your professional background, your application essay, and your performance in interview. A score of 700+ is enough for getting into any top b-school, no matter it is HBS or Wharton. 

2) Your undergraduate GPA will be given more weight than your graduate GPA. However, since both your GPAs are high indeed and unable to change, I suggest you spend time and energy in where you can make real improvements.

3) I suggest you re-take the TOEFL ASAP. It seems that you are not eligible for a TOEFL waiver as Gemany is not an English-speaking country. But you'd better write to the admission office to have the right anwer. 

Best of luck with your application! 

H.S.Wang  

I really appreciate your help! Thank you very much.

Wish you a nice day!

HSWang,

你好。请允许我用中文请教您一些问题。
国内著名大学本科毕业，GPA 3.5。德国大学化学硕士毕业，GPA 3.8。有两年半的著名咨询公司工作经验。今天刚刚考完GMAT，成绩不是非常理想（730）。
我想问的是：
1，鉴于今年严峻的形势，如果我要申请HBS和Wharton这两所我心仪的学校，这个GMAT分数会不会不够？
2，我申请的时候是应该更注重国内本科的GPA还是德国硕士阶段的GPA？
3，我的TOFEL成绩已经过期了，现在还需要重考么？

目前只想到这几个问题，还请您不吝赐教。谢谢！

Dear wang,

    I'm a forth year student studying marketing at a not famous university,and my GPA is about 2.9 without GMAT score(suppose it ranged from 650 to 700).But my last 2 years' GPA is above 3.5.The reason that my GPA is so low is that my first 2 years GPA is only 2.2,while after a lot of hard work my GPA in last 2 years finally soared to 3.5 as you can see.And I'm going to graduate this june.Can I apply top 20 or even top 10 USA b-school after working for 2--5 years? What category of corporate do I work for would really help my application?

    Thanks a lot!

 

Hi, thank you for your question.

 

Of course, you can apply to top 20 or even top 10 US MBA program. GPA won't be the major obstacle on your journey toward a top MBA. The adcom will fully understand your academic context if you can explain it well in optional essay. Some adimssion officers like to see applicants' academic performance in last two years, and almost all admission officers appreciate a rise-up performing curve. So no need to worry about your GPA. Anyway, I suggest you work about 3-4 years before applying an MBA. The longer you work, the less negative impact a low GPA will have on your application. As for choosing what type of company, it's up to your professional interest and your vision about your future. B-schools always emphasize the diversity of their student body. So, although consulting firms, I-banks, and fast comsumer companies contribute the majority of top MBA students, the key is how you can do well in your post and what impact you can achieve in your company no matter what industry it belongs to.

 

Best of luck with your future application!

Hi, I have some questions. 1, I got 760 in GMAT, master degree in UK, nearly 3years experience in a famous international corporation. But is it too late to apply for MBA in 2009? 2, I majored in computer science. Is that not good for applying MBA? Thanks

 

Hi, sorry for late reply.

 

You have a very competitive background, but since there is little chance for international applicants to get admitted in Round Three, I strongly recommend you apply for Round One in 2009. Please remember the best time to act is when you're well prepared. For your second question, undergraduate major is for sure nothing relevant to admission decision. The adcom will only consider your GPA, and sometimes which univeristy you graduated from (famous institutes have some advantage). More important is your GMAT, your work experience (professional accomplishments), and how successfully you can market yourself through essay and interview.

 

Best of luck with your application!

申请09年是太晚了，

建议你申请10年的第一轮，把握会大一些

至于学计算机对申请MBA没有太大影响，主要看你的GPA情况
