Hi Mr. Colombian Sales Leader, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions and former alumni interviewer for Haas. Sounds like you’ve had some significant impact on your product with innovative ways to sell its benefits. Haas will appreciate the impact you had. It sounds like you are working towards an executive role within your current company. I think your biggest challenge is going to be the combo of your GPA and GMAT. Not knowing your GMAT journey, I would suggest you consider retaking the test or take a practice GRE to see if you perform stronger.

Hi Mr. Colombian Sales Leader, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions and former alumni interviewer for Haas. Sounds like you’ve had some significant impact on your product with innovative ways to sell its benefits. Haas will appreciate the impact you had. It sounds like you are working towards an executive role within your current company. I think your biggest challenge is going to be the combo of your GPA and GMAT. Not knowing your GMAT journey, I would suggest you consider retaking the test or take a practice GRE to see if you perform stronger. Schools are going to want to see evidence of your ability to handle the academic rigor of the program. And while you might be able to overcome either a low GMAT or a low GPA, both are going to make it very challenging at Haas, where the acceptance rate tends to be quite low due to the smaller class size. And while your chances will be higher at the other schools on your list, you are going to need to show that you can handle the academic load. Maybe consider taking HBXCore or a Math for Management course to help show a more recent example of your academic abilities. Also, since you are talking about staying in the same industry, you might consider part time programs that tend to be less competitive from a stats perspective. Happy to talk through options with you in a free consult. Best of luck to you!
