I'm looking to apply to some of the top Canadian programs and was wondering if anyone could assess my chances. I'm particularly interested in McGill but will be applying to Queen's, Schulich, UofT, Ivey and UBC as well.
Now for some information about myself:
760 GMAT 49Q 47V 6.0 AWA
2.5 years work experience in Economic Development (small business lending/marketing)
Undergraduate GPA 3.33 BCOMM (3.5 final two years)
Average references, nothing exceptional in that regard
The big "?" on my profile is my venture into and failure at law school. Under intense pressure from family I applied to and attended law school from 2007-2009 and absolutely despised it. Needless to say I performed poorly (failed 1L) and withdrew in the second semester of the retake of 1L simply because I didn't see the point in wasting any more effort in something I didn't enjoy, and because I wanted to begin focusing on GMAT preparation.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could guess at my chances for acceptance at any of the top Canadian MBA programs. Obviously I know that my undergraduate GPA, and my GMAT score are more appropriate measures of my ability to succeed but I worry about my ability to explain away the poor performance in law school. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
