Key takeaways
- GPA is one of four academic signals. A 730+ GMAT largely neutralizes a 3.2. Work achievement outweighs old grades after year five.
What the class profiles show
The published GPA ranges at M7 programs run wider than applicants assume; the 10th percentile routinely sits near 3.1.
The compensating signals
A strong test score, an alternative transcript, and quantified work outcomes each independently move admit rates for sub-median GPAs.
