I recently took the GMAT and scored 630.

I am a Caucasian Canadian citizen who is looking to stay in Canada for my MBA.

The schools I am looking to apply to (in order of preference):

- Ryerson MBA MTI - Full Time
- Laurier MBA - Full Time
- McMaster MBA - Full Time
- Brock MBA - Full Time

For undergrad I attended the University of Ottawa and majored in Political Science. During my time at school I played on a varsity athletics team and worked two jobs during my last two years due to funding constraints. All of my extra circulars no doubt took a toll on my CGPA, as my courses were not always on the top of my priority list. I ended my academic "career" at uOttawa with a CGPA of 2.6.

As for my work experience, during school I was a manager at a local bar (large capacity) and a property manager. In the two years after graduation I have worked at one of the major banks in Canada.

A 630 GMAT is better than the average at all of the above schools, but my undergrad CGPA is a worry. Looking for a little advice on next steps!

One should ideally compensate low GPA with a high GMAT score (relative to target school's median). Alternatively or in addition, you may explain the reason for low GPA in the optional essay. In your case, extra load of extra-curricular activities could be a reason, but it would work better if you have some results and lessons to show as the outcome of that effort. Besides, you can overcome the effect (explanation of low GPA is part of it) of low GPA by writing strong applications. And in case your performance (in undergrad or GMAT) has been below-par in math/ quant, then you may find this post useful:

Why Quant Is More Important than Verbal in GMAT, and How to Compensate for a Low Score?

Agree that you do face a hurdle with the GPA.And that the combo of a low gpa and low gmat is a tough one. You can make sure recommenders speak to your quant ability, you can take some classes in stat, calculus, financial accounting and micro econ and get "A"s and you can do a program like MBA math to show that you can handle the rigor. Those would be the things I suggest to offset the situation for you now.
