Alex,
I would love to hear your opinion on my candidacy at Tuck and Yale SOM. At all three places I would be applying for a dual-degree MBA/MA in International Relations (Tuck dual degree with Johns Hopkins SAIS and Yale dual-degree with the Yale graduate school).
My question: Should I wait a year and take some economics courses (required by Johns Hopkins) and try to get my GRE quant up a bit? Or should I go for it this January?
Work experience:
I have worked at a sales and marketing consulting firm for three and a half years. I started as an Associate and have since been promoted three times. I am currently a Director and lead a group of eight analysts.
Recommendations:
I will get two very good recs, one from my direct supervisor who will speak to my internal leadership and a second from our COO who will speak to my project leadership.
Background:
I graduated from a top liberal arts school in 2007 with a 3.3 (B.A. in Political Science, minor in Latin American Studies). My GRE is a 660 Quant (62nd percentile), 650 Verbal (94th percentile). On campus, I was a four-year varsity lacrosse player. I also was Co-Founder and Co-President of a campus club, started to promote school spirit on campus.
Most notably, I spent two semesters in Latin America. In the second semester I started my college’s program there.
Extracurricular:
This spring I will be a local youth lacrosse team for the third year. For the past year, I have volunteered as a mentor in Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Please provide feedback when you get a chance!
Thanks!

Honestly, I don't know enough about the MA programs to really comment on whether you need extra econ courses or not.
As for your chances at top 16 schools like Tuck or Yale, you're likely a stretch with the current scores you have -- given that you were a lib arts major, you really need to nail the quant section of the GRE or GMAT, otherwise adcoms will have serious concerns about your ability to handle the quant aspects in b-school.
The rest of your profile is pretty solid for schools like Tuck and Yale, but not enough to overcome concerns about your quant -- can you get in with the scores you have now? Sure. But you'll need a bit of luck on your side for that to happen. Assuming you boost that quant score to an 80th percentile or more, you'll be competitive.
