Thanks for sharing your profile. You have an interesting profile with many positives highlighted by your strong work experience and international exposure. On paper however your GPA and GMAT are both on the low side, so I don't see you as a fit currently for the programs listed. If you can improve your GMAT score to better counteract your low GPA that could really help you out. Also given these red flags it would have been great as well if you had stronger ECs but it's a little late for that it seems

Thank you for the feedback! I understand that I really need a higher GMAT score to counter my GPA so I'm hoping for a 720 this next go round. Do you have any other program suggestions I should look at? I'm also concerned waiting another year to change my target schools will put me out of the age range for most full time programs.
