Question regarding low undergrad GPA:
I’m not going to start applying to MBA programs until I have another year or so of work experience under my belt. I finished my undergrad at a nationally recognized state school with a double-major in Finance and MIS and a GPA of 2.9. Shortly after graduating, I was diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, which caused severe concentration problems in school, and even attendance problems as I was literally afraid to leave my apartment on some days. Since I underwent cognitive-behavioral therapy, I have performed extremely well professionally and made top scores in every professional academic program (ie. continuing education) I have attended.
Are these circumstances that will be recognized if properly accounted for in my essay? Will it take some of the emphasis off of my low GPA and possibly put more on accomplishments I’ve made after being treated? Also, OCD is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. I don’t know if this helps at all.
Thanks
