GPA doesnt mean much. It’s probably one of the lowest factors. Schools and classes are too different to weigh GPA equally. Also, some classes stick to a straight bell curve meaning only the top 10% of the class gets an “A”. Depending on the competativeness and placement of the school, this can be very easy or very difficult. the GMAT plays a much more important roll in applying to MBA’s because, like the SAT, it’s weighted equally for everyone.

3 years of experience will be fine, but nothing impressive. As Vector said, it will be difficult to show any advancement in such a short time unless she’s in a Management program or she can really sell herself in her essays and interviews.

If she’s not a test taker, then I would definately suggest taking a class to prep. To be honest, if she’s dead set on going to an MBA program, what’s 1200 dollars compared to what you’re about to spend on a 2 year program. The GMAT is completely different than the SAT in test taking style and knowing how to take the test is almost as important as knowing what’s on the test.
