Low GPA - Strategy for applying to MiM/ MBA

Overview of my profile

Undergraduate School: University of Cambridge

Part 1: Human Social & Political Sciences - 66 avg - 3.7? Part 2a: Psychological & Behavioural Sciences - 43 avg - 2.0? Part 2b: Psychological & Behavioural Sciences - 57 avg - 3.0?

(GPA was affected in 2nd and 3rd years owing to course change and mitigating circumstances - have supporting letters from Tutors).

Extra Curriculars: * TEDx Cambridge (Logistics Officer) * Cambridge Libertarians (Treasurer) * Robinson College May Ball (Food & Drink Officer) * Cambridge Advertising Society (Treasurer) * Cambridge Filmmaking Society (Speakers Officer)

Work Experience: 3 months with a financial payments system startup in Berlin advising the CEO on UK business expansion strategy.

Languages: English & German (fluent)

Have specifically looked at programmes like HEC's MiM. Was considering to apply after spending a year in South America with various small firms learning Spanish and then spending 2-3 years at an accountancy firm/ financial payment startup in Berlin/ Leipzig.

Can anyone give me guidance as to my profile? Aims for gmat scores/ whether my grades/ GPA are too low for the school I'm looking at?
