As a female, you will have easier access to the top 20 b-schools because fewer females apply and the female perspective in the classroom is at a premium. The top 20 know GT and the fact the school's dean's list is 3.0 (vs. 3.5 at most schools), so really your GPA is equivalent to a 3.2 at most "regular" schools. Won't hurt to carefully remind b-schools, but they know there is no grade inflation at Tech. Your GMAT is good and if you can get it over 700 even better--write your own ticket. I like your story and also the fact you are passionately involved in something outside of school/work that you are still active in. This is the kind of dedication and commitment b-schools love to see. Let us know if we can help you--a properly crafted application could even open up a top 10 school for you.
