Would not give it a moment's thought: instead focus on demonstrating teamwork, leadership, impact, problem solving and innovation. GMAT is a proxy for academic ability so if that is sorted then you are fine; 770 is better than a 750 but if you have at least 49 in quant you are all good to go. (PS 750+? why be cagey about the score ?)
They will see you took CS classes, a well known GPA buster, and you attended BC, a quality institution, so would not stress about this at all. You really get into a program on qualitative and interpersonal factors (read:demonstrating common values) once they figure out you meet minimum standards so work on that.
My motto: research yourself, your goals and the schools. No shortcuts.

Hi All,
GMAT score is 750+ and work exp is stellar (took a failing business and made it extremely profitable). Recommendations are solid. Only thing lacking is GPA (3.45 from Boston College). Took some computer science classes out of interest and practicality and majored in a special international studies program with a economics focus (tough course selection is reason for lower GPA).
Anything that I can do to boost GPA as it is slightly below median for a top 5? Or does it not really matter that Much at this point?
Thoughts would be appreciated.
