Hi Paul,
I am planning to go for an MBA. First of all let me give you my profile:
Age:26
GMAT: 700(Q:50,V:34) --do i need to retake?
Undergrad: B.Tech from IIT. cgpa:7.1/10
Workex: 2+yrs in singapore.(non IT)
lets think for a while that my goals are pretty clear(actually its completely the opposite). my concerns are:
1.) my current boss and previous boss are not pretty good with their english and writing skills. though they will give good LOR, will their english matter?
2.) In my first job my company suffered a loss and had to restructure. and they decided to cut down on manpower. i was affected since their devlpt dept was not doing well and they retrenched me. i got another job within one month? so should i mention the reason for the one month gap? do we need to enter the exact start and end dates with regards to our empl? or can we just mention the start and end months? will the retrenchment affect my chances of getting into a top school(though it was not my fault )
3.) the companies that i work/ed for are not mnc's and my position/s is not great either. this is with regards to the exclnt education i received. but as many didnt make use of it and was sort of a vagabond in my undergrad days. though my move to singapore was mainly monetary.
4.) i failed in a couple of course in my undergrad? will this matter? i passed those courses in the second attempt.
also can you evaluate my profile? my primary goal is a career switch into finance? got to research what exactly i want to do with an mba? but i have to do it since i am getting mad with my current job? my target schools are wharton,chicago,columbia,nyu,harvard. am i realistic? what are my chances given some of the problems i mentioned above?
thanks and regards,

manutd4ever,
1) It's OK if your recommenders' English is not great, though you may want to have someone like an admissions consultant (Accepted.com) look over their drafts to make sure they're clear enough.
2) You need to account for the gap but only need to mention months and years, not full dates. A one-month gap will not hurt you, and generally being downsized isn't fatal, but what will matter is how you've done since the downsizing, i.e., if your responsibilities are less than they were, if you have been thrown off course goals wise, etc.
3) It's OK if your companies were not MNCs, but obviously the nature of your role is very important. If you have little leadership then that's a big problem.
4) You may want to explain briefly in an optional essay the circumstances behind why you failed these classes, but since you retook them and passed them and have a good GMAT score, this won't be huge deal.
Based on the info you gave me (not very much) I would say the schools you listed are not realistic for you, with NYU being the most doable of the bunch. You will need to be able to discuss substantial leadership roles in and outside of work. No need to retake the GMAT.
Good luck,
