Hi,
I am originally from India, went to HKUST in HK for my bachelors and did computer science with a business minor.
Graduated in 2016 with a GPA of 3.23/4 after which I have been working in the technology division of one of the Tier I global investment banks here in HK.
I have passed CFA level 1 (dec 2015) and am appearing for CFA level II in June 2018.
GRE - 317 (Q-162,V-155, AWA-5)
As for my co-curricular activities,
- Founding member of the first asian chapter of a greek business fraternity here in HK
- Actively involved with the CSR committee at my workplace
- Peer Mentor during my time at university
I am looking at schools for 2019 entry and some of my shortlisted schools are:
1. Bocconi
2. EDHEC
3. ESSEC
4. HEC
5. ESADE
6. SSE
7. St. Gallen
Mainly aiming for European schools as it seems to be cheaper but if you think any US schools may be a good fit, I would consider that. I do have programming background but I am not really leaning towards a lot of quant.
Your reply will be very much appreciated.

Lower GPA and a GRE that looks like it converts to a 630 GMAT. Bocconi is going to be pretty difficult (if not impossible). HEC and St Gallen as well. I would target lower tiered European programs.
Best advice - try and improve your GRE score. You need to offset the lower GPA and the score you have isn't doing it.
