You have a shot at Wharton, harvard, Stanford. Go through the MLT program and apply through the consortium as well

What’s does applying through consortium mean?

Do you think you can get your GMAT higher? 2.9 UG GPA (engineering), 730 GMAT latino male here. I ultimately got Wharton and a fellowship at my 3rd choice consortium school, but it was an uphill battle. All to say, do everything you can to make the GPA be the only “below average” point on your profile - good luck!

Wow Wharton with 2.9 is truly inspiring. Good job C1

Hi Fishes,
I got offer from persistent with 31lpa.
But most of the compensation they added into skill bonus-1400000. Due to that my basic salary is low- 50k as compared to my cctc basic salary, which is 63k with 19.5lpa.
Is it normally happening with everyone joining to persistent?
Can Persistent increase basic salary component and reduce the skill bouns?
I asked hr to increase my basic, but she mentioned that it’s system generated and standard format, vary cmpny to cmpny.
Plz help me out guys.
