Hi Ertalado,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Your international experience is great. Being an applicant from Spain is a nice plus too, as it will add diversity to a program. With the GPA being weak, the best way to mitigate that is to apply with a strong GMAT score, one that is close or even higher to the school's average. As it stands, I think CBS, Chicago, Kellogg are reaches and LBS is more likely (lower average GMAT + very international class). I recommend you retake GMAT, and it could even be worth waiting to apply in Round 2 for some schools, if that means you'll apply with a significantly higher score. Also be thinking about how to differentiate your experience and story from other consulting applicants (since it's a common demographic). The early promotion helps, any volunteer roles in the firm or unique interests outside of work? Those could be things you try to bring out more.
Hope that helps!
Kate
