Hi,
First off all thank you for looking at this.
I am looking to apply for top 10 MBA programs but uncertain about where I stand in the ocean of the applicants.
-- I have 3 years of auditing experience at one of a Big 4 Accounting firm and was promoted to Assistant Manager.
-- After that I completed a MSF program at Boston College with a GPA of 3.8 and Beta Gamma Sigma.
-- Then I started my own e-commerce firm with a friend (I am currently the CEO of this firm), the firm is still quite small at this stage (1 employee apart from us) but has sales in all 50 states and is easily searchable on all major search engines. By the time of September 2014, I will have 2 years of experience managing it.
-- I obtained a bachelor's degree overseas, served as vice-president of a student society for two years, nothing else spectacular though....about 3.1 GPA.
-- CFA level II candidate
-- Professional Athlete in China with provincial championship.
-- Haven't taken GMAT but just assume I have a 730 score for now....
The reason I want to do an MBA is I find marketing far more interesting than finance during managing my own firm, and I am more interested in taking care of the marketing part of the business rather than the whole thing (i.e. CEO). So I want to do a MBA and use that to get into the marketing function of big firms.
Do I have a shot at the top 10 programs? Or you believe there is something very wrong with my mind and I should just go out and play in the sun? (^_^)
Thank you very much for your time.

Hey there,
First - go play in the sun. It's the summer so enjoy the season!
But seriously, no, you're not out of your league here. Actually, you have an interesting profile for a top 10 program. Some programs don't accept candidates that have other masters degrees but that's more an exception than a rule. I don't know how detailed a response you were looking for or if you just wanted a litmus test on if you were on the right track?
If the latter - you are. There's good stuff in your profile to work with to put forward a compelling application at these programs and your goals make sense with tangible realism to them. Overall, go for it!
If I were to guess, however, I would think you have more questions so if you do, please don't hesitate to ask. Happy to help!
