Low GPA, good experience, what are the options?

Wanted to weigh in for you here. I think you are mislabeling your post, from the standpoint of what will hold you back more - should be "low GMAT" in the header. GPA is not something that will universally hold you back, especially if it is calibrated against norms at your university. If you used a pure 4.0 scale, 2.3 is pretty rough, but perhaps there are some recalculations to be made. Further, international GPAs are not as damaging at US schools because they can't always be sure they know how it translates over - we've had clients get in to good schools with very poor GPAs.

GMAT is another matter. For most of the schools you are listing as more of reach schools, you would need probably a 670 or higher to get a fair review. The biggest risk with a low GMAT is that they won't review it fully and fairly if the score is too low, because they feel it is a lost cause. You don't want to get "screened out," and unfortunately this is true even at lower ranked schools, because those programs feel the GMAT pressure (to get the average up) just as acutely. So the primary area of focus is going to be getting that score up.

If you can do so, I would then consider your best options in light of an ROI. If you are doing well in your career, do you want to lose momentum by going to any old program for the "experience" of it? Perhaps not. You might be better served in showcasing the increase in maturity, discipline, and focus that you have experienced since college, highlighting your work experience (and perspective gained from it) and really making an appeal to higher ranked schools. If you cast a wide net with a competitive GMAT score and amazing essays, it would not surprise me at all to see you land an interview and an eventual admit from a Cambridge type.

Anyway, I would rebuild the way you are thinking about your own candidacy. Understand what truly threatens to keep you out and what is more fluid. Know what you want out of the degree and what the ramifications are for your choices, good and bad.

Good luck!

Best,
