Hi there,
I just finished writing my 2nd GMAT exam and with applications a few months away, I'd like to know what kind of a chance I have of getting some of the top MBA programs in the United States. Here's a little about myself:
GMAT #1: 640 - Q 42, V 35 and AWA 5.5
GMAT #2: 690 - Q 49, V 35 and AWA 6.0
Undergrad GPA: 2.99
Age: 25 at matriculation.
Undergrad institution: Concordia University, John Molson School of Business. Class of 2009.
Majored in Management, Minored in Marketing.
Work Experience: 2 years Financial Services Manager, major Canadian bank
-Manage people's finances (Investments, Mortgages, etc)
-Took and passed 'Investment Funds in Canada' exam, now licenses to sell Mutual Funds in Canada.
Leadership Experience/Extra-curricular activities:
Founder and President, National Congress of Italian-Canadians Youth Wing (January 2011 to present)
Member of Board of Directors, National Congress of Italian-Canadians (May 2009 to present)
Member of Board of Directors, a community organization aimed at helping the unemployed find work through counselling (September 2010 to present)
Undergrad Activities:
Founder and President, Italian Student Association (2008-2009)
Courses/Classes:
Took a Calculus 1 class at a local Junior College. Totally aced the course.
Took Linear Algebra in University, as well as Stats. Performed well.
Awards and achievements:
Most Dedicated Club President 2009
Best new Student Club 2008, Italian Student Association
Nationality/Ethnicity: Italian-Canadian
Languages: English, French, Italian (studied Italian in Florence, Italy during the summer of 2009)
Area of interest: Entrepreneurship or General Management
I'll be completely honest, I'm looking to getting into some of the top schools in California, meaning UCLA Anderson, USC Marshall and Stanford.
I've already visited UCLA and USC, but not Stanford. Not sure if that's taken into consideration when applying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You're still a bit young and may not have enough experience at work yet to impress the schools; however, I do believe you will impress them with your active leadership in your community. The biggest obstacle I see is your GPA, so while the alternate transcript will help that, I do think it would help to boost the GMAT too. While I always think it is worthwhile to visit the schools so that you can see where you really fit in and will do best, for a program like Stanford your visit will have little bearing: the schools use a visit to gauge your interest in the program so they can maintain high yield numbers, but Stanford doesn't have those concerns
