I think about it like this: your GMAT tells the adcom everything they need to know about your GPA. Low GPA + 85ish%ile GMAT? No explanation necessary, you're not there academically. High GPA low GMAT? Either very easy course work or bad test taker.
For me, High GMAT Low GPA, they must've thought either lazy or unfocused on school work for some reason. I wrote an optional showing the latter. They use those stats to prove you can do the work, so I needed to assuage their concerns.
I also was laser focused on the schools resources and how I could use them for my specific goals, that I showed I was qualified for based on my work experience. Low GPA like ours is a huge huge black mark, and you need to be perfect in every other aspect. Others, like HYP grads at MBB with a 3.6 and 740 can probably afford to write blander essays, you and I cannot.
760
I was about the same with a 770 and a unique story and hit M7 for what it's worth.
Could prob get great recommendations from alums at those top mba programs too if that helps?
Sweet Baby Jesus, those are high scores. Was the 770 the key for you or was there other things you brought up to create a stronger app?
