Good undergraduate school and good work experience, however, the GPA is a bit too low.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the only reason I’m reading 5% is because it won’t let me write 1% Even if you were at Google and had an 800 gmat, that wouldn’t be able to overcome a 2.2. But you’re at a less prestigious firm with a gmat below the class average. Add in your bucket, and this just becomes an insurmountable hill. Right now, you need to look outside the T 25.Add 40 points to your GMAT, and you can look inside it.
