Hi,
I would like to gauge how realistic my chances are and what caliber of schools I can apply to, given that I have a low GPA.
Background: Bangladeshi male. I have diplomat parents so I've lived in many places, including California, NY, Bahrain, India, etc.
Undergraduate degree: Electrical Engineering from a top Singaporean university
GPA: 3.01/5.00 (this is a B- average)
Published as second author in a top engineering publication (IEEE).
GMAT: not taken yet but hoping for 730+ (I had a 740 verbal & 710 math in the SAT if that counts for anything)
WE:
1. 4 years as a business intelligence/data science analyst for a leading financial firm (not a bank). Starting off in the Singapore office, I built up the business intelligence function single-handedly and proved its value, to the point where I was offered to run the franchise globally from our London HQ and so I work in London now. This function previously did not exist but is now a key part of the business.
2. Interned at UNDP in Turkey and a leading investment bank in Singapore while at college.
Extracurriculars:
At college -
1. Heavily involved and held leadership positions at a big club
2. Good at public speaking so joined debate and was chosen to rep my university in international debate competitions.
3. Founded and sold an academic module review website (a bit like ratemyprofessors).
Post college -
1. Helped translate documents for Bangladeshi migrant workers at an NGO, used my connections to build a stronger relationship between the NGO and the Bangladesh embassy.
2. Thinking of joining Toastmasters in London as I enjoy public speaking.
Given this information, what sort of schools should I narrow my choices down to (only US)? Should I forget about top 10? Thanks!

I haven't yet - I'm currently going through the 10 MGMAT strategy guides to ensure I have all content covered before going through a proper CAT, and I intend to sit for the real test sometime in late June/early July. I know the GMAT is very critical to evaluate chances, but I guess I wanted to gauge a hypothetical situation where I did well on the GMAT, and be evaluated more on my non-GMAT merits, given a good GMAT score. This allows me to mentally prepare and set some expectations in terms of applying.
