Hey there!
for sure! publications are great!  They aren’t the main thing, since you aren’t going for an academic career, but they can for sure help to prove your “smarts”.

Best,
Jon Frank

Hey there!
Great to hear from you again. And don’t get too disappointed. There’s not much you can do about your UG GPA now. And like you did point out getting a great Masters GPA can help (although not entirely) and a great GMAT is the best thing you can do. This doesn't mean that you should not apply to Top 10 schools at all, but just that you should be aware of the situation, and plan accordingly when you come up with your school list (by adding more schools, applying as much as you can in R1, and adding some safe schools).

So keep your chin up and your eyes set on the stars! (but still: be realistic

Best,
Jon Frank

Hey Frank, thanks for your kind feedback!
kind of sad after finishing it. haha.
about the GPA, i have more to say. does the AO only review GPA in Bachelor first degree? since i have good GPA in second degree and a great one in master degree. my second bachelor degree, my master degree and my career are highly consistent. couldn't it express my commitment: find something really love and commit to it. my first major was decided by my parents...(Chinese family thing)...looking forward to your suggestion.  kellogg, Yale, Duke and Tuck are my targets....

Hey there!
Great to hear from you. Let me try and answer your specific questions!

1. I can only apply for the Round with the deadline in January. Will it be a big influence to my application?

January is round 2. Round two has more or less the same chances as round 1. So you should be okay!!

2. My disadvantage: the GPA of the first major in Undergrad. Interdisciplinary (non business background), success rate?

Hello there. It’s not a question of success rate It’s more of a question of WHERE you can and should apply. For Top 10 schools it will make things difficult, as the average GPA is around 3.5-3.7.


3. Dream school Kellogg. This is a school good at Marketing and management. I will also apply for Wharton, Yale and Duke. My career direction may be consulting and corporate.

Kellogg is great for you because of Marketing. Right ow it is hard to evaluate your entire profile because I need more info. Especially about your work experience. However, with a GPA of less than 3, even with a 740+ GMAT Top 10 schools will be “long shots”


4. For GMAT, do I have to get 750?

You have to get the best score you can. For Top schools a 730+ is good.

5. According to my condition, which aspects should I care about for my essays.

Everything. Making them original, passionate, logical and well written!

Best,
Jon Frank
