Good Gpa for Mashall/Anderson...

<p>What would be considered a good gpa for getting into these two schools (i know Anderson is ranked higher). Maybe a 25-75% percentile? Thanks.</p>

<p>Depends on your UG and major but I would say around 3.4 gpa. Remember GPA is only one of many components for B-School. Plenty of people with 3.0 GPAs get into top b-schools because they have great work experience</p>

<p>what exactly is great work experience? I know you need atleast 4-5 yrs of work experience to get into b-school.</p>

<p>I got into both Anderson and Marshall with a 3.32 from a UC school, 5 years work exp, and high GMAT.</p>

<p>Do top business schools consider GPA in terms of your major? I finished undergrad with a 3.0 in biomedical engineering. Is it realistic that they would "weigh" this against someone with a Spanish major?</p>

<p>Also, do business schools consider MS or PhD gpa more important than undergrad?</p>

<p>AdComs do take into account a more difficult major like yours. When looking at average GPAs at schools, you can factor that in. Of course, GPA isn't everything too. I'd say focus on the elements of the application that you have control over now (essays, recommendations, GMAT). If you have an all-round solid package, I'm sure you can get into any of the top bschools. Good Luck!</p>

<p>I'm going to UCSD. </p>

<p>Would a 3.9-4.0 GPA in Electrical Engineering be weighed much more heavily (err.. in my favor) then if I got a 3.9-4.0 in Either Econ or Econ: Management Science or Joint Econ and Mathematics? (Assuming that since Econ GPA is 3.9-4.0 it gets the title "with distinction or high distinction" ?</p>

<p>Honestly, if you have a 3.9 GPA in anything, then GPA won't be your hurdle.</p>

<p>well I'm trying to maximize what I can do ^__^;</p>

<p>What does GPA stand for again? And what letters are used in other languages?</p>
