Any low GPA success stories here?

I'm in the same boat with 2.79. The plan is to not mope and be proactive; This year I'm going to take the HBX CORe program online and shoot for high honors then prep for the GMAT and take it next year and hopefully score a 730+. This is all in my free time as I'm going to be starting a 9-5 job in the aerospace industry working on private space stations.

I want my MBA because I feel like the commercial space industry (other than launch) is really gonna start opening up so with my education and experience in the technical side, i want to supplement my knowledge with an MBA for the business side of things and start my own company

I'm shooting for HBS, MIT, Stanford, then Wharton.
