OVerall, you have a very impressive profile. The one issue is your GPA. Did you have below average, average, or above average grades when you were in college? A 2.4 is below average for your target schools, where above average grades are the norm. ON the other hand, a lot of foreign universities have differing grading scales and a straight "translation" or conversion doesn't do justice to your undergrad performance. So before I reply, could you just answer that question? If your performance is not representative of what you are capable of, were there extenuating circumstances that contributed to the sub-standard performance?
Thanks,
Linda

Hi,
My grades are on average for my school. Given the courses I've taken, I would say that they are sligthly above average. I am certainly capable of high academic achievements (as part of my record can show), however during my studies, I worked part time and was happy to pass the courses and graduate. I didn't plan for further studies at that time and was confident I'd a job I'd like after college either way.
If you consider admission to the schools I've previously posted unlikely, I would love to have suggestions to schools which I could have a resonable chance.
