2) GMAT. Took Veritas Prep courses..
530 Q25 13% V38 85%
IR: 3 (25 percentile)
Writing- 6.0 92%
I know I need to retake this to get my quant score up.
3) College info:
University of Houston. Double Major – Political Science & Psychology Cumulative GPA 2.86.... i have an essay explaining medical issues causing lower grades and high transfer marks not being applied toward GPA.
Started a Masters of Public Administration. Did not finish.

Have a certification in Petroleum Land Management through University of Houston Downtown.
4) EC:
Actively involved in the crossfit community and volunteering in competitions.
5) Target programs.
Potentially looking at:
Rice Jones, UGA Terry, UH Bauer, ATM Mays
I am concerned that I am shooting too high and would love advice about what other schools I could apply to, being someone with lower marks and less experience.
6) Application cycle:
Round 1 or Round 2. 2018 Matriculation
7) Post-MBA goal.
Undecided. Interest in Consulting and making processes more effective and efficient.
8)Personal:

I have reached a cap in development at my current career and do not anticipate receiving any more opportunities for leadership development. I plan on retaking the GMAT and hopefully increading quant. I want to attend a full time program so I can change industries. I am worried that I am shooting too high with my school choices and am wondering what good safety schools would be. I am highly proficient with my verbal skills as evident in my GMAT score, but am willing to take courses in economics, statistics, or accounting, based on recommendations.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sharing your profile. You have a few red flags that as you know are going to hinder your chances at many schools. I think you have started to take this into account given your low GPA, GMAT (currently), and work experience. I think the more important question is around your career goals. You want to make sure the AdComm does not feel like you are running away from something but instead towards something. So just keep that in mind, your career goals should be driving your interest in business school so make sure you have that piece figured out before applying. I would say Jones will be a tough sell for you but I would take your shot at the others. However, this is based on you improving your current GMAT score to somewhere in the 80% range. There are very few programs that I have any sort of familiarity with where I can project a score that low being competitive with. This was your first official test so not a big deal the score but you will need to improve on this score in subsequent attempts.
Hope this helps!
