You can get into lots of MBA programs — but the good ones will be hard for you to get into.
Ranked programs want you to have three to five years of work experience. Even with that experience, it will be hard for you to get in unless you do raise your GPA and get a great GMAT score.
In my opinion, an MBA from an unranked school won’tbe worth the cost of tuition.

It will be very difficult for you to get into a top MBA program without professional experiences unless you have had some really amazing experiences in school (senior leadership roles, volunteer work, etc.).
Honestly, you’d be better served working for two or three years before applying to B-schools. First, you’ll be able to put your coursework in perspective – the cases really make a lot more sense if you’ve got some experiences to relate them to. Second, you’ll be bringing something to the table to make your classmates’ experiences better – you really do learn a LOT from your peers’ experience in different industries. Finally, you’ll have a MUCH easier time landing a solid post-MBA job if you’ve got some experience – even if you got into school without any experience, you’d be competing for jobs against people who do. Good luck!
