Dear energyriskconsultant,

Your GPA will not hold you back as your GMAT score and professional work experience are equally important as well as mitigate your GPA. What makes the difference for any applicant is how well you put your application together. You must present a strong rationale for why you want a MBA, how it fits into your overall career plan, and why the school you are applying to is a good match for you. Additionally, you need to distinguish yourself from the competition and demonstrate successful leadership experiences/evidence of leadership potential in your essays/resume.

Best of luck,
Lisa

There is some variance on this, but most of the time I saw between 2 and 4 years after completion of the degree. Some companies had a highly structured policy where the amount to be repaid would pro-rate over the time requirement and other companies had an all or nothing (meaning if you left anywhere in your time requirement you had to pay the full amount back).

Regards,
Lisa
