Hey dude!
Very good to hear from you.
So first thing that is good, is that we don't really see thaaaaat many Filipino candidates, so you are immediately an "interesting" candidate. Of course if your worke xprience is strong and you have great stories, it will also help a lot!
In truth to evaluate you I would need more info: How quickly have you advanced? Do you have any leadership? What are your great achievements? Do you have notable community service or extra curriculars? '
But anyhow, overall I feel like your school list is a decent start. Although I am a bit worried about your GPA. To put things into perspective, the average GPA at Top10 schools is about 3.6. And they take only a VERY small handful of people with a GPA as low as 2.9. So what does that mean practically speaking? First of all, that you should be adding schools in the 10-20 rane. And secondly, that if you have a good reason, which I hope you do, you MUST write an essay bout why your GPA is so low.
Sooo, I hope this helps!!
And if you have further questions, do not hesitate!
