I am looking for some feedback on my situation and my current plan of getting into an MBA program. I am about 1.5 years into my first job out of college after 3 internships during college. Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering w/ Minor in Economics from above average engineering school. Low GPA of 2.7.

I am more interested in economic, financial or business topics, as compared to the engineering side of things; hence my interest in an MBA. I am looking to get into an part-time online program, something like maybe <insert-state-here> State University or University of <insert-state-here>. Not looking for top of the line B-school, but something reasonable.

Have not taken GMAT, I am confident I can score quite well, going to begin studying soon. I do not have much for extra curricular activities. I should be able to get a couple of good recommendations.

Current plan: study for GMAT 2-3 months, application shortly thereafter, start school as early as January 09.

Will I have much problem getting into a good program? What can I do to further my future application considering my low GPA, lack of notable outside activities, and minimal professional experience? Just wondering if I am going about this the right way, trying to take care of problems now instead of later, any recommendations on online programs?

Thanks in advance!
