Before AdmissionsConsultants was formed, David Petersam, the company's founder, successfully guided several friends and acquaintances through the turbulent admissions process that encircles the nation's elite business schools. After witnessing how successfully his admissions strategies worked for these these individuals – and being told by these same applicants that he should start an MBA admissions consultancy – AdmissionsConsultants was formed.

David Petersam: Your transcript is definitely important but sometimes, I think the importance is a bit overrated and it comes then with the concept of the academic qualifications hurdle. If your GPA or GMAT indicate that you are smart enough to handle the course work without too much struggles, then anything above that doesn't really matter too much.

8 and 3.

9 in the similar major from the similar school isn't going to account for anything in terms of the admissions decision.
