Do top business schools consider 1) community college + post-transfer college gpa, or 2) just the post-transfer college gpa?

My GPA of 2) is much lower than 1) due to personal circumstances - thinking if I should explain in the additional information section as well.

The number that goes into the averages is the CGPA from the school where you got your degree. You can use the optional essay to explain your personal circumstances.

Thanks for your response! Would it be correct to say that the community college grades (ie those for my lower division courses) will not be factored in then? Currently they’re not counted in the transcript from the college I ultimately graduated from.

Bought a car today. Finance Manager tried to get me to sign the Bill of Sale without reviewing the carfax report, despite it being mandated by the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. She ultimately gave it to me after I insisted and contrary to her initial assurance, when I looked at it myself, the car had an open recall. Do I raise the concern with OMVIC (vehicle sales regulator) or am I just pissed off and should forget it?

My floor supervisor (direct report) married the operations manager two weeks ago. I can’t say anything to either of them without hearing it repeated back to me from the other one. The OPs manager and I are on the Executive management team, and it’s making it very difficult to brainstorm about changes that need to take place throughout the organization when I can’t trust him to keep it to himself. Even if he didn’t share information, there are other issues…see below

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation.

Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.

Concerned about Johnson’s strength in consulting placement even for T2; seems to have mixed reviews. Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.
