HKS: Good GRE & GMAT but Low GPA--Chances???


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello people,

I'm an international applicant. No governement work ex but excellent management work ex- 7 years in Marketing/ Brand Management. Strong GRE (750 Q & 710 V) & GMAT (720 AWA 6). Undergrad is problematic, especially year one (fell ill for a while) and have A & A+ in most my post grad papers after that. How would you guys rate my chances? Have applied only for MPP at HKS.

I mean how bad of a problem is undergrad? What was your major? Do you have an quantitative research in public policy to help defend you? I think it's safe to say that HKS is likely extremely selective.

Hey thanks...VERY Bad...undergrad in liberal arts. No quant at all. Quasi Management education post that. VERY good managerial experience in fortune 10 company. My pitch has been that I want to 'act as a bridge between private and public spheres' in my country- a very fast and rapidly developing economy whre this sort of policy talent is sorely needed. Strangely, they don't even seem to have interviews!!
