<p>hi guys!

<p>a typical major and a concentration (e.g. finance major, accounting minor) with good grades, like gpa >3.5?</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>a honours program in investment management or double degree in Finance and Accounting but with 'not as good' grades. e.g. GPA ~ 3.0</p>

<p>Good grades. Good work experience. Good GMAT.</p>

3

<p>I'll act like an annoying college representative and say...
Good grades at a good program :P</p>

4

<p>Aim for minimum 3.7 with need for honors depending on quality of your school.</p>

<p>Really, you should ask yourself which program will get you a better job. Will you land a better job with the 3.0 honors or a 3.5+ non-honors. MBA programs will look more favorable on the 3.5+ GPA but work experience is what will make the biggest difference.</p>
