[mbamission]

I think your corporate and nonprofit background is pretty interesting, especially if you have a strong story to tell about your passion for pursing the nonprofit career track and your experiences with the Clinton Foundation in Africa and the U.S.

Your undergraduate grades are fine. What are the percentiles on the Quant and Verbal sections of your GMAT? Are you involved in any activities outside of work?

I do think you should be competitive at your target schools. You might also be competitive at some higher ranked programs in the 8-15 range if you have solid leadership examples to leverage in your applications.

Best of luck with the application process!
