Good MBA GPA bad undergrad GPA

Graduate School
1

<p>I got a 2.79 GPA undergrad and I got a 3.74 GPA on my MBA at George Washington University.</p>

<p>I want to go back to get a Masters Degree in International Relations at Georgetown, George Washington, or American.</p>

<p>My grandfather donated a wing of the Hospital at Georgetown. The program is prestigious and world renowned and says it looks for undergrad GPAs of 3.0 and up.</p>

<p>I did quite well at my MBA at GWU and feel I could get a strong letter of recommendation from 2 profs there.</p>

<p>Do I stand a chance at getting into any of these schools? Will they consider my MBA GPA instead of my undergrad GPA? Should even bother applying?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Go ahead and apply. From my experience, the undergraduate GPA can be balanced by a strong GPA in a graduate program that has relevance to the degree you are applying to.</p>
