OldTortoise,
Your qualifications (GPA, GMAT, letters of rec) help admissions get a picture as to how you'd fit along with other applicants, but there is more to the story. Creating your story and telling the "how" and "why" of moving between a couple large telecom companies then to a niche chip maker then to a boutique tech company is going to be critical. Does this speak to you wanting the more intimate environments? Or maybe to you wanting a larger role of responsibility?
I can ask other questions like what tasks you actually led (and not just participated in) at these businesses, the specifics about your management experience and your transition working on a team to leading a team, and what is actually involved in some of those extracurricular activities you referenced. The point is, to get into a top program, crafting your story and effectively communicating what makes you a candidate they should select can differentiate you from a candidate who may have stronger scores or grades on paper.
In any case, if your GMAT score lives up to the +700 expectations, you certainly have a solid shot of getting into a Top 20 program, as you desire. In the end, a lot of your success will come down to execution and communication. If you have any additional questions, please request an additional FREE 15-minute profile review from a WyseGyde admissions consultants. WyseGyde consultants have track records of success at top schools such as Wharton, Booth, Tuck, HBS, Columbia, Darden, and the list goes on. They could certainly help guide you along your MBA path…and the profile review is FREE!

Hi There,
1. You definitely have the profile to make it to the Top 20.
2. Your experience is not a hindrance. Approach the applications with confidence. You bring a variety of rich experiences to your future cohort. Ensure that you justify the need for an MBA right at this stage in your career well; and you'll do good.
3. Almost all top 15-20 schools have excellent General Management curriculums and placements in Consulting. So you will need to narrow down your list to about 6-7 after a through research. You might want to also consider one year programs offered by b-schools like Columbia, Cornell, Kellogg and Emory.
Good Luck!
