Hi, I'm a 28-year-old female with a profile that is a bit all over the place, and I'm hoping someone can evaluate my school selection and/or offer suggestions on schools I might want to look at, given my profile.
Also any other analysis or comments on application strategy is also always welcome!
Thanks so much!

- GRE:
- V: 166 (96th%), Q: 168 (96th%), AWA: 3.5
- Note: In addition to my abysmal GPA, I also a have large gap in my education timeline: I should have graduated in 2008 but was short 1 semester's worth of credits, which I had intended to take off-campus the following semester for transfer and promptly finish up. Things did not go as planned and despite lacking a degree, I ended up working full-time and beginning my career. Then in January 2013, I decided to go back full-time to Bryn Mawr and I finally completed my degree. (Unfortunately, there are no extenuating circumstances that led to my poor academic performance other than immaturity and a perceived lack of existential purpose.)

- Student Government Association, Bryn Mawr Board of Trustees Finance Committee, Athletic Association, NCAA Field Hockey TeamNCAA Indoor and Outdoor Track Team
- First choice school is CMU-Tepper
- Other schools I am considering: George Washington, Georgetown, Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern, Babson, Baruch College, U of Marland - Smith, Johns Hopkins - Carey
- Career change to Consulting - Specifically to work either in the Corp. Social Responsibility department of a large consulting firm or at a CSR-specialized boutique consulting firm. Interested in consulting business strategy/development for consumer products/services companies and/or non-profits.

Hey there!
Well you definitely have that huge major obstacle in your profile, but you may have saved yourself with the GMAT. In a weird way, it may even be "good" that you did so poorly. I mean, it's not good... but at least as opposed to a 3.0 it's a STORY. So you have this one obstacle, obviously you have to deal with it in every application, and you just have to make as good a story as you can about being immature, existential worries, and then making good on it later. There's nothing you can DO about your GPA anymore (Actually you have already done that one thing by getting your GMAT as high as it is).
Right now you can also work a wee bit on your job description. The title sounds really good, but the bullets you have here seem rather... well technical. I'm sure you have some good stories and good achievements here, so you need to milk those for all they are worth.
Can you still get into Tepper with your profile? I'd say you have a shot. It may not be easy, but as a female applicant with a 760 there's for sure a chance.
