Mr. Retail Consultant

Hello, Mr. Retail Consultant. I appreciate your insights regarding one of the bigger challenges you face with your profile – being stuck between a high GRE score and a low GPA. However, all hope is not lost. You have the opportunity to provide compelling reasons for why your GPA is not as high as you had hoped. Were there mitigating factors that impacted your performance during your undergraduate studies? You could also consider taking additional courses that demonstrate your ability to handle graduate-level work at a top business school.

Your competitive athletic background and track record of successfully turning around small companies suggest that you possess a high level of energy and commitment. Including more detail about your volunteer work will provide a more well-rounded picture of you outside of work. Additionally, highlighting examples of teamwork will showcase your ability to work collaboratively.

I see that you are targeting a global consulting firm post-MBA. The J-term at Columbia is designed for applicants who do not seek an internship experience or who have existing strong networks in their industries. It may be challenging to achieve your goal without an internship.

With some additional information and polishing, some of your target schools could be possibilities for you. If you would like to discuss further, please click the free consultation button. Thank you.
