Hello,

You look like a good candidate for the programs you mention, with the exception of the low GPA. However, your work requires strong quantitative and analytic skills, so you can emphasize that somewhere in your essays and perhaps discuss it directly in the optional essay. While it's a weakness, I think if you do great applications overall and address that point succinctly and effectively, it will not be a deal breaker and you'll have a good shot at these programs.

Best regards,
