Hello mikegmatnew123
Referring to class data for the previous years of all 3 programs, the average (middle 80% of the batch) GMAT is 700+, and the GPA is 3+/4. Hence your GMAT 615 FE (660 CE), and GPA seem a bit low. However, that should not be your red flag in applying to this program, because your military background will give you an advantage Mc Combs and Marshall both have 12% of the class from the U.S. Military.
Finally, your GPA and GMAT scores cannot change if you're targeting this 2025 deadline, focus on writing a good application and convincing the admission committee why you right fit for the program. We also suggest you speak to alumni of your target school or get help from application consultants to make your journey smooth.

Hi mikegmatnew123
While your military experience is a significant strength, a GPA of 2.4 might be a challenge for top-tier MBA programs. However, a strong GMAT score can help mitigate this.
All the three schools shortlisted by you sound to be a good fit in your case.
You need to work on writing Compelling Essays to ensure you are admitted to one of these schools.
Own Your GPA: Address your GPA head-on in your essays. Explain the circumstances that led to the lower GPA and how you've grown and matured since then.
Highlight Military Experience: Emphasize the leadership skills, discipline, and problem-solving abilities you've gained from your military career.
Connect Your Past to Your Future: Explain how your military experience has prepared you for an MBA and your future career goals.
Strong Letters of Recommendation: Seek letters from individuals who can speak to your leadership, work ethic, and academic potential.
Military superiors or colleagues can provide valuable insights into your character and abilities.
Networking and Interviews: Connect with alumni of your target schools, especially those with military backgrounds.
Practice your interview skills and be prepared to discuss your career goals, leadership experiences, and how an MBA will help you achieve them.
Additional Tips:
Consider a Retake: If you believe you can significantly improve your GMAT score, consider retaking the exam.
Explore Other Options: Consider schools that may be more forgiving of lower GPAs, such as some regional programs or programs with a focus on veterans.
While your profile has strengths, it's important to address the GPA issue effectively and strategically. By focusing on your unique experiences, showcasing your leadership potential, and crafting a compelling application, you can increase your chances of admission to your target schools.
