Let us know which program you're targeting (MBA?) and we can give you some thoughts! It would be great to know more about your work experience, any extracurriculars & your post-grad career goals as well. Generally speaking you want to hit and ideally exceed a school's average GPA & average GRE score so you can use that as a guide as you research programs & schools.

Hi leoharsha,
Suggestion on the list of schools depends on a number of factors. Assuming you are looking at applying to an MBA, it would be best if you could visit the website of your target schools to see if they have a minimum GPA cut off. Generally, a high test score helps compensate for a low GPA; however, in your case, the test score is on the lower side as well.
Thanks.
