Mr. Advisory Consultant

Hello Mr. Advisory Consultant, this is Lisa Cummings of Status Admissions. I’m an alum of the Johnson School myself – Go Big Red! I am sure you know that you are coming from a very competitive demographic and that with a 2.25 undergrad GPA, you are going to have to put together a really solid application. It won’t be impossible, but it will be tough. Schools will look at the solid grades you earned in your Masters program but the schools’ rankings all focus on candidate’s undergraduate GPA. They will appreciate your ASU courses as well (were those on line?); they will mitigate somewhat the concern about your ability to do the work as will your GRE, especially if the quant score is high. I’d also want to know a lot more about your work impact and your extracurricular activities including any leadership roles you have taken either formally or informally. With a lot more detail and a solid application, you just might have a chance at your dream schools. Best of luck!
