About

Find out how the admissions committee will assess your academics (grades and test scores) as well as get tips for addressing any imperfections in your academic record.

+ Lesson Notes

We examine how an admissions committee assesses your academic profile. We also look at the impact of additional academic work, including an advanced degree or additional coursework for those with a lower GPA or weak quantitative background.

The admissions committees will also take into consideration your activities during your undergraduate experience, whether you were heavily involved in extracurricular activities or needed to work to help defray the costs of your study. This helps them understand your personal circumstances and your propensity for getting involved during the MBA program. It also helps them understand your ability to juggle your priorities.
