I have a pretty low GPA, 2.9, but am targeting a high GMAT score. I have 5-6 years of work experience. I have strong recommendations and will be working on my essays later this summer. The schools I am interested in:
Tuck
Stern
Columbia
Yale SOM
HKUST
Are these schools in my range? If not what schools do you suggest I apply to?

Thanks for your posting.
To be honest, the content that you provided was so vague that it makes giving an assessment difficult.
First of all, with your GPA, you have used all of your margin of error at all top programs and this means that every aspect of your candidacy moving forward has to be outstanding -- including GMAT, essays, recommendations, resume, interview, etc.
Acceptance to some top programs with your GPA is possible, but will be most difficult at Columbia and Yale. From experience, these two schools place the most emphasis on all aspects of your academic performance and a 2.9 is out of the range that they look for.
The other three schools on your list are more open to your grade situation.
I would recommend that you also consider Ross, Fuqua, Darden, and Johnson. I would consider your chances at these schools more realistic.
Good luck.

Sorry for the vagueness of my profile. I am just very worried about my low GPA. In your opinion is it even worth applying to Columbia and Yale if my GPA is that low? Would it be better to replace those schools when I apply for schools like Fuqua & Darden?
