Hey there --- to help guide further input, can you help provide some more specifics around the type of programs you are considering? Geography? Full-time/Part-Time, etc?

Thanks.

I think the list referenced above makes a ton of sense --- but every school is so different! No reason Duke and Michigan shouldn't be on list as well. I'd extend a watch-out / concern about the undergraduate GPA -- that's going to be a bit of a red flag for most I would believe.

Have you considered taking some additional classes to show commitment/improvement to academics?

Best of luck!

I'm with Brian on this one. That's quite a flag in your application. It would be useful to understand what your unconverted percentile was, what you studied, and where you went, but still, all that considered, that's still a low range.

Anything you could do shore that GPA would be helpful. An amazing GMAT (AND CONGRATS!) is a good place to start but with a GPA like that a little more is probably going to be necessary.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
