Hello guys,
I would be so happy if you could share some of your knowledge for me.
I will write briefly about me.
I am 22 years old, i graduated from university this summer and i have bachelors in business administration - management. I moved in USA in this summer straight after my graduation. I lived in developing country and my bachelor's diploma is not really strong at all. My GPA is 2.95. I studied in private university and my country did not really have GPA culture so i did not really focus on my GPA, which was my huge mistake. since i moved to usa i did a lot of research what i wanted to do in the life and i decided that i want to get in top school for MBA. i really like setting goals in my life, and i want to prove to myself that i am capable of studying so hard and getting into one of the top schools, it is not only proving to myself, i really want to do mba and get into one of the good companies in consulting or investment banking. i understand that, it won't be easy at all, in addition to that, i live in usa alone, i work at least 8-10 hours a day and i spend the rest of my time on studying gmat. i am sure that i can't afford to pay for university even if i get into it. as i understand, GPA + Gmat and good cv is needed to get into top university. as you already know i have broken gpa + i don't really have any experience that my university will like, i used to work on several service jobs to pay for my bachelor's. what should i do to make myself suitable candidate to get into t15 t25 and receive scholarship ? i want to set my goals so i can work on it, i am ready to dedicate more than a year if it is gonna be needed to take high score in GMAT, in order to receive scholarship in one of the top schools.
i am probably the worst canditate with low gpa and no suitable experience at all, but i don't want to give up and i am not going to. i am just looking for the ways to do it.
Please don't judge me or laugh at me, a little bit of information that could help me would be very much appreciated.

Your spirit to make a difference in your life is commendable.
I presume your visa rights to be in the US are sorted, so I will skip this topic.
I would recommend you concentrate on working for the next 4-5 years and build the profile of a successful, impactful professional with plenty of achievements, both inside and outside of the workplace. Use this time to prepare for the GMAT and hit a score of 715+. This will help you offset the weak GPA. Scholarships will be an outcome from the strength of your candidacy.

Here are some specific things you can work on over the next few years:
To counter that low GPA - The GMAT of course will be crucial. Additionally, take some additional coursework like HBS CORe, or some online programs in finance or accounting. Take these over a longer period of time (to show consistency) instead of bunching all these in the year before you decide to apply to Bschool, as most people do.
Focus on gaining Relevant Work ex - Try to move from service jobs to more entry-level business oriented roles in finance or consulting (doesn't necessarily have to be at the big names). Focus on creating impact and displaying leadership, even if it is at a limited level.
Skills to showcase - Problem solving, financial impact, lateral thinking, to name a few.
The advantage you have over most other applicants is that you are starting very, very early, so you have a great opportunity to design your profile exactly the way top business schools like.
Good luck!
