Dear jcandelaria,

You have some positives in your profile, but your GPA and GMAT might raise a concern. Increasing your GMAT score would strengthen your application while also helping to mitigate your GPA. There are many schools that would welcome an application from you; the key is to identify and target the ones that are the strongest match for you. I encourage you to read our sticky on school selection for tips on how to identify potential programs, as school selection involves many personal preferences.

Good luck,
Lisa
