I think the world's fascination with a 7XX GMAT score will almost be over by the end of this application season. Most B-Schools looking to climb the rankings will probably have to look at different approaches too - increasing average GMAT will not work as it used to. I haven't been thinking about the ghana/burundi's. I don't think we need to. I believe in the Know Yourself approach. I have never applied to B-School before but I know now that Self-Realization does show up in essays and makes for a far better essay than any exotic earth-shattering experience. It is showing up in my essay drafts more now than before. I hope it continues. I don't have a successful application experience to back what I say so its just a personal opinion for now.
You know what you could also do? goto the Accepted.com forum and read the profile's of the members on this club who got selected to your target schools and to schools of similar reputation/strengths. Of course you'll only find those who requested a profile eval but others might respond to a PM.

By the way, while filling in the applications - in work experience, does part time work at Burger King really contribute to anything?
I am totally confused on what to add and what not to add in my varied work experience when I was in college.
Any inputs to this is totally appreciated - also I did not know which part of the forum to even direct this question!!!!!!

Hi.
White male, 27 years old.
760 GMAT (48V/47Q), 3.0 GPA in a good undergrad dual major.
Spent two years as a financial analyst in a now defunct company, then took off to law school. I'm interested in business school to spend some time in an investment company then transition into a banking firm. It'll open some outstanding doors for me.
I'm very eager to get my MBA for that reason. It's really the business and financial side of law that I love, and you need both the MBA and the experience to get there. I love the non-legal side as well, so I'd be in excellent shape regardless.

. But on a more serious note, I've done a couple of these volunteer abroad trips and they are absolutely wonderful. I'd take volunteering abroad and experiencing the country's real culture and hospitality anytime over going as a tourist and getting ripped off by the locals 
I wish I had some cool stuff to put too
