Hi SRGCanada,
Thanks for reaching out. Yes your overall GPA is a bit low, though likely still in range for the programs you are considering. GMAT is more recent, and a great indicator of your success in an MBA program. But you may want to write a brief optional essay addressing the low GPA, especially if there are circumstances that contributed to that.
My other concern is that 2 years work experience is a bit light...again, still in range but likely below average for those programs. Do you have examples of leadership so far in your job? Make sure those are highlighted on your resume, and in essays too. Also make sure you articulate very clear reasons for why you need your MBA now (in your essays, and interviews when it comes time).
Good luck!
Kate
