You look very good on paper. I would try to take the GMAT again and make that 680+, but only if you have the time and energy left to do so! 650 is a respectable score (and would get you into your choices), but if you think you can do better, I would try to aim for the best score I can get.
Do you have an international experience? Speak another foreign language? "Internationalism" is major characteristic that I have found in my research about international MBA programs. (By the way, I'm American, but live overseas in Germany.)
Bottom line, you'll ultimately need to distinguish yourself in some way from all the other applicants. There a lot of applicants with a similar profile, so your objective is to sell yourself better than the rest of the applicant pool.
Just my .02.
I am also applying to UK MBA programs, with my top 2 being Oxford and Cambridge. Also looking at Cranfield, Cass, Tanaka/Imperial.
I was thinking about Manchester, but realized their program is 18 months. I only want to do a 1 year, so it didn't make the cut for me.
All the best in your MBA pursuit,
William

Trader,
thanks for your reply. I actually don't have any international experience and I can only speak basic Russian. Given my current credentials, do you see any areas to improve (besides GMAT) or any areas that I'm lacking? Also, you wouldn't happen to know where I can find information (profiles) on successful MBA candidates (work exp., undergrad schools, etc.) for the UK's top ten programs, would you? Thanks and good luck with your top choices.
