I think you have a decent chance of getting into the ivy league institutes.
You can always explain low marks in graduation to them if they ask in interview.
Everything else seems just fine.

Hi moon94,

Thank you for sharing your profile. Starting with the stats, your undergrad GPA is quite low, so you will need to score well in GMAT to compensate for it. Aiming 740+ will maximize your chances. However, you can share the reason for your low GPA in an optional essay. You didn't share many details on the work front, but I believe your three years of experience must include stories of leadership, illustrate your potential, and demonstrate your unique personality. When it comes to your ECs, you should bring something that exhibits other elements of your personality aside from your work. You may want to read the article on Role of Extracurricular activities in your MBA application to get some better insights.

Regarding your chances, it depends a lot on your GMAT score and overall profile. I'd like to learn more about your work profile so that I can assess your chances. Also, what are your post-MBA goals? Your post-MBA goals are critical in determining the best business school for you. When are you taking your GMAT?

Overall, a good profile. I believe that once you get your GMAT score, we will be able to select several good business schools for you. If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week or once you got your score to discuss your profile in length and further chances. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.

Cheers!
