Thanks for sharing your profile. I really like your background minus the GPA. Competitive GMAT, good undergrad university, great work experience that plays well at all of the schools listed. For them you are fairly safe candidate given you should be able to secure employment post-MBA. You are borderline at these schools given your GPA but a great essay/application can go a long way of helping your odds here. I would also take a look at Stern and Columbia as well

Hi VeritasPrep,
Thank you for doing this!
Background: Asian Male U.S. Military
Undergrad: United States Air Force Academy B.S. Legal Studies GPA 2.36
Graduate: Oklahoma State University M.S. Entrepreneurship GPA 3.727
GMAT: 710 49Q 37V 5AWA 7IR
Work Experience:
-Air Force Contracting Officer, aka acquisitions for Air Force. Significant leadership experience through Air Force. Multiple Group level awards, led team through organizational change which led to 1 Major Command Award. Exited military as a Captain 5 years
-Medtronic surgery consultant/sales experience. Started as a trainee, graduated year-long training program in 6 months, graduated top of class out of 15. Increased revenue in a 2 year downward trending territory. Grew passion for biotechnology. 2 years
-Currently working on launching platform for New York City to help veterans in need. 4 months
E/C
-Currently Air Force Reserves Captain, I volunteer to interview applicants to Air Force Academy to help them decide if the military is right for them.
-Medical Missions, I was able to earn more than $500k worth of medical implants and tools from Medtronic, and helped ship them to Puerto Rico to help surgeons treat children with scoliosis. Did this for a year and a half while at Medtronic
-Habitat for humanity. Volunteered while in the Air Force to help give back to the cities that embraced the Air Force Base.
Story
-Enjoyed time in Air Force grew passionate about conducting business deals enabling mission capability for Air Force. At Medtronic grew passionate and saw the impact of biotech watching patients move limbs for the first time after an accident. Long-term goal is to become accredited investor focused on biotech ecosystem to help improve quality of life globally. Short term is to become investment banker in healthcare group to learn to correctly value companies and identify key growth factors.
Additional info
-I had family health issues that I will not disclose here, but I did not know how to deal with the demanding military and academic curriculum and family issues at home.
-I have always wanted to attend a top MBA program, but I knew my UG gpa is a scarlet letter. I took finance and accounting in Graduate school where I got A's in, out performed peers during my careers and scored a fair GMAT 710 to compensate.
Target Schools in no particular order: CBS, NYU, Tepper, Darden, Cornell
So my question is, have I done enough to offset my poor UG GPA?
And are my target schools reasonable?
Thank you for taking the time to do this.
