I have a mediocre GPA from a undergrad school outside the top 10 (but inside the top 20). Is it impossible to get H/S with this profile as an ORM even if do everything else right?

Where do you work?

It’s hard but doable from what I hear. Want to use the MBA as a career booster and/or industry pivot, not sure yet.

What is a mediocre GPA?
What major?

Oof we’re in the same boat

It def will, but idk if my peanut brain is capable of that 😂 good luck OP

Not impossible. But you would need to really stand out in some way-not necessarily a reflection on you, but seems like H&S can be picky and only take dream candidates. So don't think GPA or school rules you out, but there are gonna be a lot of very similar folks applying from B4s...so why you?

Hey all looking for some advice…

I accepted a new job that begins next week. I just got word from another company that I had interviewed with and they offered me a new position as well. This second offer is for my dream company and although the pay is less than my new job, I realy want to consider accepting it as it guarantees a better WLB while my new job can potentially be just as stressful as my current (reason I left). How should I go about quitting my new job that starts next week? TIA

I don’t feel Queens U is renowned globally (or at least not at the same level as Cornell). Does the partnership dilute the Cornell brand in this particular program?
