Hi Mr. Mission Impossible,
With your profile, I don’t think Ross is “mission impossible” for you. This is Debbie Choy from mbamission. I think your strong GMAT score does help offset your low undergrad GPA.

Hi Mr. Mission Impossible,
With your profile, I don’t think Ross is “mission impossible” for you. This is Debbie Choy from mbamission. I think your strong GMAT score does help offset your low undergrad GPA. Still, do consider explaining the circumstances that affected your GPA in the optional essay. I also like that you are doing well at work – with a promotion to boot. As well, you were active as a student leader, and you volunteer as a teacher within your community now. As you pull your apps together, be sure to describe what motivates you to be passionate about ESG. Also, why MBA, especially since you already have a Master in Management degree from IE Business School? What specific skillset or knowledge are you seeking at Ross that you are not learning in your present job in Finance? If you can articulate this compellingly in your essays, that would be the key to your application success.
