Hey Is0303!

You're definitely going to want to take some supplementary coursework in order to improve your chances of admission. I often work with candidates with low GPAs, but 2.3 would probably be the lowest I've seen yet. That doesn't mean your case is hopeless.

I have a post here that discusses which supplementary courses you should take and where you should take them: https://www.beatthegmat.com/pre-mba-cou ... 63263.html

In short, I recommend you take: Microeconomics, Accounting, Finance, and Statistics and earn a B+ or better in each. You can take these courses online or at a community college.

HBS also has an awesome new program that offers most of these courses. It's called HBX CoRe and you can find out more about it here: https://hbx.hbs.edu/hbx-core/

Remember that it's not all just about the numbers. You're going to want to also have really strong essays that are compelling, concise, persuasive, and memorable. One of the best ways to achieve that is to make sure that when you tell a story, you share what the main characters thought, felt, said, and did. That's what makes stories juicy and memorable.

Best of luck in your GMAT prep and make sure you give yourself enough time to write outstanding essays and take some supplementary coursework to show your preparedness for the MBA classroom.
