How bad is the GPA?
Dmed both
It depends on how 'low' your GPA is. Last year I spoke with an applicant who considered their 3.6 low because it was below the average at very top schools.
A low GPA is below a 3.0. Use the optional essay to explain.
And 3-5 points above the GRE average should work.
Depending on what you majored in and how you performed in quant-focused classes, it might be worth taking a pre-MBA math course to show admissions that you are a different student today than you were during college.
