Hi JohnAHD

Thanks for getting in touch! What an interesting back-story. And amazing that you can speak so many languages. What I like is that you have the luxury of time, something few MBA candidates have. I suggest is that you set up a free consultation with us to talk more in detail and get more personalized advice. To your point about money, there are a few schools who will waive your application fee if you attend some of their admissions events (Fuqua and Georgetown come to mind). Given your lower GPA, I would like you to have some safer options in your portfolio of schools so that's where Fuqua and Georgetown can come in handy. Your GPA also puts a bit more pressure on your GMAT score so ideally, I'd love to see 740+ if you can swing it. There's definitely a lot to like here -- your international background is very compelling! -- but our challenge is that we don't know what your competition looks like so it's best to plan for different outcomes.

I hope that helps! Definitely set up a free consultation with the first available mbaMission consultant.

Thank you so much for your reply!
I will continue on working to consolidate that score and take that consultation for sure.
Would you say I should discard the options or target schools I wrote and aim a bit lower? mbaMissionKrista
