Im looking at NYU,Cornell, Yale & Georgetown for either 2006 or 2007. I definitely want to live in the Northeast after graduation thus my choices. My post mba goals are finance specifically sales & trading.
UG- Graduated Marist College in 2003 gpa 3.65/3.8 in major (Finance), Magna Cum Laude ,top 10% of my senior class, 4 year varsity letterman in football, team captain, Academic All American, first in family to go to college, also worked all 4 years as a tutor
GMAT-650 (44 Q, 36 V), hopefully low quant is mitigated by all A's in calc, stats, and other advanced finance classes
Extras- Head foootball coach for 7-8 year old football team, assistant for 5-6 year olds. Worked special olympics in college and was also a guest speaker to elementary school students on the importance of academics and athletics.
Professional - Work for the largest building material supplier in the world (28,000 employees but we're not on the US Fortune 500 bc we are based out of the UK). Started in US headquarters as a comp analyst helping standardize US pay practices. Also provided ad hoc cost analysis for executives. Promoted and relocated to Dallas to join accounting/finance team (in a staff role) whose goal was the centralization & standardization of 7 regions, each of which operated indepently. We were successful in that project and are standardizing everything now and instituting best practices from each area. Other job responsibilities include basic accounting stuff (balance sheet analysis/rec, cash rec, P&l generation) to financial analysis (cost trend analysis, inventory valuation).
Recs- One will come from a top 5 guy in my company who I reported to in my first role. 2nd, Im not sure yet. Optional 3rd would be a finance professor from college who has ties to NYU. all in all Id say they will be solid.

With current stats you have a competitive profile for Georgetown, maybe Cornell, but if you want to have a decent chance at the other schools you mentioned, you need to prepare again and retake the GMAT, raising your score, especially the quant. If you are a member of an under-represented minority, retaking may not be quite as important.
Good luck!
