It's going to be a high hurdle to clear. Despite your solid GMAT score, your GPA could be a dealbreaker. Plus, if you have relatively less work experience, GPA tends to count more. That obviously works against you. Is there a reason why your GMAT is below average? Can you offer that explanation in the optional essay to potentially mitigate its effect?
I'm not saying you won't have a shot at Fuqua, Ross and Johnson, but it will be difficult. GPA is such a tricky component because not every GPA is created equally from country to country, school to school and major to major. If you do apply to those schools, I'd suggest having backup plans in terms of staying in the workforce or also applying to lower-ranked MBA programs.
