Well, I improved on GMAT by 100 points, and I know that it's possible to improve even further...
Nonetheless, looking at my experience, my educational background, and my recent interviews that I have had, I am far away from the guys who apply here.
I can only wish to get to where some of you are right now
p.s. further, I guess I have a fear that even if I get into any b-school, it would turn out that I am not prepared to be in there.

I think its all in your mindset, to be quite honest. For instance, when you say you are not smart enough to get into a top 50, I'm very confused. Schools in the 35 - 50 range have admit rates of 30% and above. Are you saying if you applied to four schools like, say Uni of Georgia, Uni of Rochester, Temple University, etc., and their cumulative admit rates sum up to 100% or more, not one of those would accept you? Is this really how you think, or are you exaggerating? If its really how you think, I'm not sure applying to MBA programs is going help. Not because you're not smart enough, but because you need more confidence. If you're exaggerating, then its best to stop. You're a leader - putting yourself down isn't useful.

@mvictor what is this crap about not smart enough. NOT all smart people do well on the GMAT. I don't know I think you should probably reexamine that assumption. With regards the recommendations yes I think that that is probably something you'll need to work out and if it's not an option at work, then I would recommend that you get involved with a community-based volunteer group established a leadership position and work at that angle rather than the employer angle. And also I'd like for everyone to know that it's beyond possible to get into a top school without a supervisor recommendation. One of my students at Wharton right now submitted a peer recommendation and a community involvement peer recommendation. My last piece of advice would be if you to fall asleep to the subliminal self esteem binaural beats affirmations on YouTube.
