Hello :D
i have high undergrad GPA, but i study now for 2 masters which are in different countries (both full time student) and therefore not the highest GPA there..
Will the 2 masters i study at the same time, be taken as a negative grade, or the fact they are far appart and I have to travel - is significantly influencing my GPA - be taken into account?
Many thanks....

Dear cutie007,
Low GPAs in the abstract are obviously not a positive thing, so you should take time to explain why your masters GPAs are low. The best place to do this is probably in your optional essay. Taking two programs in different countries sounds like a very unusual situation, so it would be helpful for you to explain why you are doing this, what you plan to do with the degrees, and how the simultaneous programs, travel, etc. are affecting your GPAs.
I hope this is helpful.
Best,
bruno

Dear Bruno
I have just submitted my application last week.. Shall I apply again, since this is an important factor and I didnt explain it..
I won scholarships for both degrees and I had an accident with my leg. Then one of the Uni didnt have undersanding for me, while the other treated me better and i have higher grades there and i have finished that degree. The first uni didnt wanted to give me a leave and this way my costs of study increased which also influenced my study progress and I had to put extra effort and I still have to finish it. If it wasnt for the accident i could have arranged differently...
Can I apply again, one week after I have just submitted my application (you are still awaiting my documents)? I am still not admitted or declined, and this is one information I should have written...
Thank you ever so

Dache,
No need to re-apply. Just email (mba.admissions@yale.edu) us your optional essay, and we will include it with your application.
