Notes:

Started my career at a F200's leadership program and was promoted once. I left to go into consulting at a F500 company (promoted again) where I work with only pharmaceutical clients and manage the development of business intelligence dashboards. In addition, I've helped found an Employee Resource Group within the company and still lead the organization.

I've taken two quant related classes and obtained A's in both classes. My goal is to go into either the client side for 1.) Leadership program in big pharma or 2.) Stay in consulting, but work for one of the Big 4

In my free time, I am on the board of a local non-profit and also participate in mentoring programs.

My fear is that a low GPA combined with a GRE does not carry much weight. I've been told that other parts of my application will hold more weight if I submit a GRE instead of a GMAT.
