I don't see why you wouldn't be a candidate! You sound like you have a strong background, but it may be recommended that you speak with a professional on the topic. Potentially a school couseler at your current school, a current teacher at your school, or maybe review the website and class profile of your desired school(s). If you need help with your GMAT, this is the place to be!

Thank you, GMATLA!
I guess I will give it a shot...Doing research is fun for me. I think I will figure out what schools to apply for in August, after taking GMAT exam.
