can my background help me apply MBA program

axbycd

undergrade GPA is <3.0 (I am worring about it), 5+w/e in consulting industry in China. PHD degree in USA. 1 year w/e in USA.  GMAT 710.

If I pay tuitions & expenses through my saving (I don't need loan), can that help me to get admission from TOP 20?

BTW, having green card  can help me get addmission??  Do you think I need retake GMAT since my score is only 710?

I appreciate your help.

axbycd，你是否自己出学费对申请没有什么帮助。绿卡也不会有特别的帮助。 710GMAT is ok, you don't have to retake it。因为你已经有PhD学位，而且工作了六年，所以本科成绩应该不会影响太大。

我倒是觉得你的申请中首先要解释的问题是你的Career path，就是为什么在consulting 工作五年后要读PhD，然后读完又工作了一年，又打算申请MBA，你的长远目标是什么，这些都是需要在Essay里面解释清楚的。
