Hi,
I'm senior business student at college in Turkey. I want to ask you guys about my possibility to get in an MBA program at top BSchools.
I've started up a company about two years ago. Nonetheless I'm leading a non-profit organisation from about three years which I've founded.
So if I get sufficient scores on TOEFL and GMAT, can I get in to top BSchools? What do you think?
Thank you very much!

Just curious, why the rush to get an MBA so soon?
Depends what you mean by "top" and I'm assuming you want to apply as soon as possible. To be honest, I'd say you have almost no chance at the top 10 schools, and a very slim chance at the top 20. While your work experience is good, at just two years of experience, it really is not enough for admissions team to swallow the fact that your total work experience will probably be 2-3 years less than the rest of your class. I'm also not too sure how Turkey GPA's system works, but if it's comparable to the United States, a 2.8 is extremely hard for any top 20 school to swallow. You would have to get a pretty solid 700 to show that you have the intellectual capacity to handle the academic rigor of the MBA program and even if you do, you will have to justify why your GPA is low (and just FYI, they will probably not like the excuse that your business got in the way).
You can probably get a top 50 school to bite on you and if that meets your threshold, then go for it. Just my opinion though, I would do whatever it takes to get that GPA up and then really get some solid work experience for the next 3 years while really rounding out with some community service and extra curriculars. The MBA will always be there so don't rush the process.

I agree with kple12 wholeheartedly. Why the rush? I agree with him that your chances are incredibly slim right out of undergrad. You have some good experiences between the start up and the non profit and these will serve you well as you look to apply. Couple these with additional extracurriculars, a strong GMAT, and some work experience post graduation and you'll be in a great spot.
The main thing about the MBA I feel you should consider is why people are successful in their MBAs. They bring real world experiences into the classroom to enrich others and learn from them. Schools don't request work experience solely because it's good for them - it's good for you too!
As kple12 mentioned, you could get into a top 50 now but why not wait a few years and get into a top 20 or top 10? That's what you're after so do it right!
