MBA school – weird undergrad GPA situation?

Question by dazzylblue: MBA school – weird undergrad GPA situation?
So I did not do the greatest my freshman year of college, esp. in the first semester. I think I started out with a 2.7 (yea, I know, OUCH). However, after pulling myself together I have gotten mostly A’s and A-’s for my last three years of college and will be graduating with around a 3.55. I haven’t received a B since sophomore year (although I did get a couple during study abroad, but my university doesn’t factor those grades into our GPA). So I’ll be graduating with honors from a top 25 university and going to work for a Big 4 accounting firm (doing international economic consulting) in New York City.

Assuming I get above a 700 on my GMAT, how competitive am I a candidate for top-tier MBA schools? I’m just scared because I don’t want my crappy freshman year grades to hold me back from attending a great program.

Thanks for your help =)

Business school do not care about your GPA. Average GPA at Wharton is 3.4

Your work experience and LoR’s are much more important.
