Hi All,
I graduated in 2007 from Singapore. I have certs from top Olympiads (gold medalists)..recipient of scholarships (two). strong Ecas and some volunteer work. I am bilingual and a learning a third language I have also worked/studied/ lived in at least 3 countries and also founded an unsuccessful startup at a young age. I will also definitely complete minimum level 2 (might complete level 3 as well) before i apply. However I have poor GPA (third class honors - i have alternate semesters of high grades and then a few with B and Cs) owing much to my poor health and lack of adjustment in college (first time i was outside from home)
How would you recommend that I approach this? Do i still hold a chance at a college like HBS or Tuck or any other top schools? I also have work exp of about 2 yrs and will apply in an years time with 3 yr exp.
Thank you so much for reading through and helping me.
Kind regards,
