First of all thank you for starting this it has given me a lot of information. I was hoping you could give me some feedback on my chances of getting into one of the following MBA Programs (None of them are in the top ten but they are still competetive schools):

Indiana University, Georgetown, University of Rochester, Arizona State, University of North Carolina, University of Texas, University of Virginia, and/or University of Southern California.

My profile:

Undergard: 3.12 GPA from Kelley at Indiana University, double major in MIS and Finance.
GMAT: took it twice, first time 640 (85% quant, but very low verbal)
Took it again and got a 690 (but quant score dropped due some timing issues I had, my fault) Verbal = 95 percentile.

Work Experience: I want to go for Fall 2010, so I will have 2 years experience by then at a small holding/investment company in Kuwait. I have tried to emphasize the fact that our country went through the worst financial crisis in 30 years, and that my company was small which meant that I had to make important decisions that impacted the company.
Extra: I was a representative for my country's student union that represented the whole of the USA. We had to help new students integrate into a new environment and new culture.

Issues: My biggest issues I think are undergrad GPA ( also very spotty consistency, lots of changing classes etc., but my last 36 credits were all major classes and I received high grades, and didn't change classes at all). Also maybe not enough work experience.

I would greatly appreciate feedback.
