GMAT score - Looking for GMAT curriculum
I've been looking over GMAT curriculum. I'm almost positive I can score in the top 98% if not higher on the quant side of it. If I can get my writing score up into the 90 percentile as well, how much can this help a mediocre/low GPA?
Thanks for the help!

thanks guys, just what I was looking for
Without more info, it is really hard to predict.
That said, GPA doesn't seem to matter a ton to b-schools as long as you have a decent explanation and other data to suggest that you are smart enough to complete the work. You might not get in everywhere you want to go, but I'd be someone respectable will take you.
General consensus seems to be that a high GMAT and significant work experience will always help outweigh GPA / boost your candidacy
Scoring really high on the GMAT is super important if you have a low GPA. Whether or not it will totally make up for the GPA shortcoming is tough to answer. B-schools are looking for both accomplished and capable people. If you are one and not the other, you will probably have a tough time getting in.
What you will have to do is craft a decent, believable story as to why you are very capable of getting high grades, but didn't. Maybe it's as simple as not applying yourself, which isn't the end of the world, but then you have to prove to the adcom that you've changed...that you've improved
If you have a mediocre GPA but managed to get a job and can actually show that you performed well, then it's very likely they might cut you some slack. If you have a mediocre GPA, score high on the GMAT and then have mediocre recommendations or bullets on your resume, chances are they will just pass you by.
Bottom line, score as high as you possibly can in an attempt to remove any doubt about your capabilities, then just hope that it's enough.
