Hey antoniomarc
Thanks for getting in touch. I am impressed with the amount of research you've done into schools. You've put together quite a nice list for yourself, which is great. With your cumulative GPA of 2.55, I'd recommend you do two things:
1. Take HBX Core and do well in it to really prove you can handle the academics.
2. Write an optional essay for each program and explain what happened and why and what you would do differently knowing what you know today.
For your work experience, take a look at our resume guide. https://shop.mbamission.com/products/mb ... sume-guide I say this because I want to make sure you highlight your leadership and management experience. Also, your impact. Less on the admin-y parts like preparing packing lists and creating invoices.
I hope that makes sense!

First, I would like to say thank you for viewing my profile.
1) Is there any other prestigious programs, other than HBX Core, that are more cost friendly?
2) For impact, could you kindly further explain what sorts of impacts do the admission officers expect?
