MD19934875:

Your concerns are valid. GPA and GMAT are hard numbers and there isn't a ton of wiggle room to explain performance in either direction. Your list of extracurriculars is solid, so that certainly helps.

NYU might give you a look. You never know until you apply. I would apply for their R1 as that may help slightly than waiting for subsequent rounds. Also, make sure you argue why you need the MBA as your accounting/finance background could actually work against you if the AdCom feels your skill and knowledge development would be redundant!

Good luck,
Admissionado
