<p>Im very shy on the GPA with 2.77 on my overall but I have 3.0 on my last 2 years and an upward trend, 3.3 on my last semester... 3.0 GPA in my major (marketing)</p>

<p>I will be taking the GMAT but with the prep I'm doing I feel very confident I will score above the 590 average they have.</p>

<p>I have 4 recommendation letters, 1 from a teacher, 2 from work (one where I was titled VP Marketing for a small company which makes judo gears and one from a huge company in Quebec, the liquor board) and finally one from the Olympic Judo coach who happens to be my coach.</p>

<p>I'm an international student from Canada (I don't know if that really changes anything but yea...), and I've been doing judo with the Olympic team for 5 years and doing judo for 14 years now.</p>

<p>So basically I'm asking if I score well on the GMAT although im very shy on the GPA do I still have chances to be accepted. The minimum GPA they ask for is 2.75 and they said on average they have a 3.4 GPA. I have great ideas on what to write in my statement of goal, I really know where I want to be in life... but my issue is more grade wise and if my letter and GMAT can compensate.</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>PS: don't hold your thoughts, if you think it's a dead please do say so.</p>

<p>Grad school is a different beast than undergrad, mostly around here we are dealing with undergrad.</p>

<p>You always have a chance, so you have nothing to lose by applying. As a moderately well-known Canadian named Wayne Gretzky said, “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the insight about people mostly dealing with undergrad matters, I still hope someone will be able to answer me, someone perhaps with previous a experience!</p>
