Chance at top MBA?

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>I'm just wondering what my chances are for top schools like HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia...</p>

<p>I'm a Filipino female from Canada from a somewhat good school. Graduated with a 3.3 GPA in Art History with a minor in Economics. GMAT of 760 and my work background is in the Fashion/Retail industry. I've also been a Team Leader for several social justice projects in Peru, Guatamela, Malaysia, and Honduras. I've spent every summer building schools in Peru and Africa and raised a lot of money for food and supplies. </p>

<p>I'm an active feminist and have worked on several projects dealing with issues in the fashion industry and are working out options with some countries on child labour practices within the fashion industry that i work in. My biggest concern is that I received one F in Marketing during my second year, because I was too busy working and did not have enough time to study. I did re take it and received a B+. </p>

<p>I also worked 35+ a week during university to help out with some personal things. What are my chances at these top schools, considering my low GPA and my F? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Stanford is probably the only school out of the bunch that may appreciate your background. However, it’s a loooong reach for you. Stanford receives tons of applicants with similar non-profit/social cause background and similar stats. You will be better served at the 7-15 schools. Focus on ones that fits your non-profit background - Duke (Fuqua), Berkeley (Haas), and Yale.</p>
