Thanks for the post. First, this seems to have fallen in the wrong category as this is a Fuqua page, but I'm sure a moderator will move it.
What do you do for the non-profit startup and what else do you do outside of work? On paper you don't have a great chance. The very low GPA and below average GMAT hurts you a lot and non-profit can work, but you really need to be a superstar and have great experience. I recommend looking at schools a bit lower down the list unless you can retake the GMAT and add 40-50 points.
Good luck!
Best,
Scott

Hi!
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. I meant to write Fuqua but instead wrote Ross. I'll edit the original post too.
Thanks a lot for replying to my post. Kindly reaccess my profile for Fuqua.
First I'm not considering retaking the exam. I will go with this score. So kindly mention some other schools to which I can apply with this score.
I will elaborate a little more about my profile. I have been working as a Senior Manager since the inception of the startup. It's related with with Sports Event Management; kind of what NCAA does in US. I have filled in multiple responsibilities such as content preparation for marketing, social media marketing, team building and handling interns as well as assigning responsibilities, building new connects and maintaining relations with present associates. I have been working with Indian Olympians and other Non Profits which are working in the Sports Field.
Other than this, I have been a part of two Theatre groups which I co-founded back in college and which are still active. One is a street theatre group which is kind of my baby. We are a 100 strong group now and have been doing street theatre in many areas to address social problems. The other theatre group is currently active in stage plays. I have been filling in multiple responsibilities here too.
And one thing that I wish to mention is (and which I think is a plus point, so kindly correct me if I'm wrong) that I left my job at an Oil and Gas Industry to pursue my career here in this Sports Non-Profit. And that is what I wish to continue in the future, hence Social Entrepreneurship. I have not drawn any salary from this program till now. To sustain financially I have been working here and there (which I can mention in my profile).
Hope this helps! Thanks a lot for taking out time.
