Will raising my GPA with a non-MBA masters increase my chances for a tier 1 MBA?

<p>I posted this question as part of a different thread but think it warrants its own.</p>

<p>My question is the value of a non-MBA masters from a good school to raise my GPA and overall CV. I have a 2.67 undergrad from West Point in EE. I have some miltary accomplishments that I hope will be considered but I’m rightfully concerned about my GPA. </p>

<p>I would ideally go directly into a tier 1 MBA program but am considering a detour to increase my chances. I have been accepted to Carnegie Mellon’s Masters in Information Technology program, which is congruent with my career path and is ranked #1 in the nation by USNews. Would getting a very high GPA from CMU significantly help my chances? I would hope a committee would consider how I have grown academically over the years.</p>

<p>Here is my original thread in case anyone is interested:</p>
