How much do Adcom care about an international's undergrad GPA? Would it be reported as part of the stats etc.? I've seen conflicting responses to this.

They don’t care about it for rankings, but they do care about how well you perform in an academic setting

I think they tend to care about how it situated you relative to your peers and your institution. Top of your class at IIT holds a lot of weight, even if the absolute gpa is low. Similarly, being top of your class in an easier subject from a no-name school means less, even if it’s super high.

That is to say it’s a combination of school, area of study, and the schools grading process

That's actually a pretty fair deal all things considered

Articling student in Canada (8 month internship with potential hireback), currently doing transactional work. I’m WFH and having a hard time building relationships with partners. I’m friendly/chat with associates and am on great terms with one partner who gives me work often, but not much else. The firm “encourages” reaching out to partners to chat, though I’ve tried and been essentially ignored. Partners rarely have enough time to give me feedback, so I feel they don’t have time to chat.

5 year Ad Agency Manager applying Fall 2022.
Wondering how to best sell myself to adcom?

Goal is to transition into strategy or IT/digital consulting.

From what I have researched so far, my client related work in advertising sounds very similar to a consultant’s day-to-day.

Between client relations, developing brand strategies, analysing data, and implementations, I feel as if I’ve built a career that can easily transfer into consulting.

Thoughts?
