Hello all, I am very new to this site. Thank you all in advance for any suggestions/advice/tips

I am currently working in an oil company as an project engineer and i want to pursue an MBA degree.
Here is my profile:

-- BSc in Petroleum Engineering from UofAlberta (Alberta, Canada)GPA-2.8/4.0 (very bad GPA :( )
-- Graduated in 2013
-- Work as a project engineer for 2 years now (fulltime)
-- GMAT 740, AWA 5.0 (2014)
-- Canadian permanent resident, but English is not my first language. IELTS 8.0 (all bands over 7.0)

I still want to stay in Canada, but ill consider US schools for sure.
For canadian b-schools, i really want to go to Sauder UBC (First Choice). Other options are York Schulich, Haskayne UofCalgary, Rotman UofToronto, and Desautels McGill. I know UT and McGill probably wont give me offer.

For US schools, I haven't really looked into them yet, hopefully top 100. I'd like to have your opinions.

Again, thank you all very much. :)

Do you want to stay in the energy field? If so, I would recommend you take a look at UT McCombs. They also host an annual Energy Finance case competition. You will also be close to the energy capital of the world in Houston. Plus, Austin is a great town to spend two years in.
