I agree that you have a compelling story, but am concerned about your low undergrad grades. A high GMAT will help you address concerns about your ability to perform. An explanation of the circumstances surrounding the low grades will also help. Nothing, however, will be as effective as recent A's. Have you considered taking some online classes from a US university? UCLA Extension, NYU Extension and I think the University of Maryland all have online courses. You could take courses in accounting, economics, statistics for business. If you earn A's they will add weight to the argument that you have learned to prioritize and apply yourself academically.

In terms of recommended schools, it is somewhat early to recommend since you don't yet have a GMATand you are almost two years away from applying. However, assuming that you continue with the activities cited above, continue to progress professionally, and earn a 700+ GMAT (and hopefully take a couple of classes, earning A's) then here are the schools I suggest you consider: Cornell, Ross, UCLA, CMU, UT, UNC, and Duke.

Best,
Linda

Re: Need your kind advice [#permalink]
Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions and insights. Yea, I have 2 years to go for it but I want to take all the necessary steps ahead of application process. Because after my undergrad and after having been through all of that I always try to plan ahead and then take necessary steps to make that plan successful so that I don't repeat same mistakes I've committed before. I am always in a learning process, learning from experience, learning from mistakes, learning from other as much as I can. I will ace GMAT for sure to augment low GPA and take courses necessary as well. I am searching for some college which (maybe) offers these courses here otherwise will take online courses as you mentioned, after taking GMAT.

Taking graded, accredited courses is a good way to show that you know how to excel academically, as discussed earlier. You may also want to consider MBAmath.com . It is not universally well-known, but some schools have even purchased it and obviously it has credibility with them.

Thank you for suggestion. MBAmath.com is a good source of learning MBA related quantitative courses. But I have a question that is mbamath.com's course enough to augment my low GPA concerns as far as extra courses are concerned (apart from GMAT and optional essay)? What I mean is if I take mbamath.com's course then I don't need to take any other course online as you mentioned above in your first post.

It's very difficult to say what is "enough." Your GMAT will also be a factor. However, I am not suggesting mbamath as a substitute for graded courses, certainly not if you plan to apply to programs that don't seem familiar with MBA Math.

Linda

Thank you, for your quick response!
I think I'd have to ask the AdCom whether the committee is willing to accept it or not. By the way, most of the programs I intend to apply for were displayed in their list of Programs who use https://www.mbamath.com.
I did visit online courses you mentioned (UC-Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard and others), they are pretty nice and I did watch free videos of some courses like Statistics & Probability. These are amazing but I am still exploring about the courses, for example how much they'll cost & what is the procedure to enroll.
I have to say, you have been my savior. Thanks a lot for your precious time & advice.

You have a really cool profile. But add some editing. Break into paragraphs, one thought one paragraph. Add more headers so that everything on the heap doesn't look.

After reading your presentation, I was really interested in the generator system. Have you been developing this for a long time, do you have any samples that you can imagine?

It seems to me with your invention and electric generators like these you can contain more than one house. This will reduce taxes and become more profitable and cheaper.
