Hi
d3mentia,
Thank you for your post. Can you give some clarifying points about why are you seeking an MBA? And why now? You, indeed, have a low GPA, that will require clarification. Having an excellent GRE score will counterbalance the less than ideal GPA. I do not recommend you study for GMAT. Since you are already familiar with the GRE structure, your time is best spent on preparing for and retaking the GRE.
I am happy to continue the conversation and learn about your MBA aspirations. If interested, please reach out to coordinate a free consultation (contact details in signature).
Good luck!
