It won’t kill it, but you will need to be above average in other areas to compensate for your below average gpa. Above average gmat (750+) should quell any academic concerns.

Not at all. Although it’ll be dependent on your major as well. STEM? Fine. Social sciences/humanities? Not a great look.

S gpa average is 3.8 rumor

Is that on a 4.0 scale or a 4.33 scale
