Background
Work experience: 6 Years of Active Duty Army Infantry Officer Experience. I graduated top of my class, and successfully finished the career course and Ranger School. I've managed 151 Soldier element for 3 years, and have always been ranked top 5% on every performance review I have received. I also have had the experience of leading those same Soldiers to a foreign country and training with NATO Soldiers.
Extracurricular: Involvement in Big Brother's Big Sister's Organization and Team RWB (Veteran Assistance Group)
Undergrad school/major: Undergrad Senior Military College (Citadel / VMI / Texas A&M) with a low 2.9 GPA in Civil Engineering.
Other education/coursework:
Race/nationality: African American
Sex: Male
Stats
GMAT Score (include breakdown!):730 (40V/49Q)
Undergrad GPA: 2.9 (Service in the National Guard and playing a DII sport took more time than I wanted away from me at school)
MBA Info
Goal of MBA:
Target schools: Classified into three sections, unsure what I could matriculate into with my low undergrad GPA.
DREAM: Darden, Cornell, MIT, Yale SOM
Reach?: Fuqua, Ross, NYU
Possibly Attainable?: McDonough, Mason, Marshall
Questions: Where would I stand with such a low GPA, I'm looking at going to Business school in 2022, have only taken the GMAT once, is it worth studying more and taking it again, or should I look at building my resume in another unique way?

If you want to improve on showing your ability to do well in class then take an extension course through Berkeley or UCLA and get an A. While a higher GMAT is always good-- I think a 730 will serve you well. I'm not sure it is worth more of your time-- I'd spend the time on your school research and developing your compelling narrative. If you do want to learn more about how to do this-- please reach out for a free consult with Stratus at this link: https://www.stratusadmissionscounseling.com/consult/
