Am I good enough for Top 10 B-Schools


Am I good enough for Top 10 B-Schools?
Hello everyone, I am from the Republic of Georgia. I am 21 years old and graduating from college in June, 2011. Planning to apply for MSc Finance in: MIT Sloan Oxford LBS (masters in management) Princeton I wonder if I have any chances to get admitted to these B-Schools. Here is my profile: Undergrad GPA (BBA) - 3.3 GMAT - 780 ILTS 9.0 I have won the grant scholarship program and been living in United States for a year, studying at school as a senior, took very hard classes at the age of 15. like (AP history, AP Calculus). While living in the US I got lost of honors certificates from the school and government as well. I am very socially active, have done lots of volunteer work in my country and in the US as well. I am Boy Scout. I have lots of certificates like BEC(business english), ACCA in accounting. I have been working part time in Bank of Georgia last year. This year I am working part time in the Ministry of Economical Development of my country. Is my profile attractive enough? Thanks in advance for answers.

I doubt it, but there is always a possibility. Your GMAT is remarkable, but you GPA is very low. I'd say you have almost no chance at Oxford or LBS, since they generally put almost zero weight on the GMAT/GRE, but far too much emphasis on GPA. If you just have a BBA and not a lot of math background, even with your great GMAT, MIT will be difficult since they are a quant heavy finance school. Princeton could be a possibility, but it will come down to professors going to bat for you and writing great letters of rec. If there is a chance of getting the GPA to over a 3.5 by the time you apply, the UK schools might still be a long shot, but the American schools will be more of a possibility. Perhaps also check some lower ranked schools, since the ones you are applying to are all very highly ranked (not saying you can't get in, but a little diversification never hurts). Good luck!
