3 Planning a Presentation You decided at the last minute to apply to the graduate school at your institution and work toward a master of business administration (MBA) degree. Even though you have a grade point average (GPA) of 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale), you were denied admission because you had not taken the GMAT, which is a prerequisite for admission. You have, however, been given ten minutes to appear before the graduate council to try to convince them to grant you a temporary waiver of this requirement and permit you to enroll in MBA classes next term, during which time you will take the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). The graduate council consists of the director of the MBA program and two senior faculty members, one of whom is your business communication professor. a. What is the purpose of your presentation? b.
