Hi can you please evaluate my profile. Like other posters of recent i have a low undergrad gpa 2.77 in economics from a top state school (UVA). My low grades are partly due to working almost full time and youthful immaturity. I am also a member of a lesser represented minority (african american). Though i'm not sure how much this would help my chances.
Since graduation i've worked in brand management for the past 4 years with promotions almost every year. I left my firm last year to go work with my boss who started his own research firm to help him grow it from scratch. We now have 2 offices and 10+ people, of which i am the third most senior person at the firm. My interest in brand management is what leads me to pursuing an mba from Kelley. Other top schools i am interested in are UNC, Emory, Texas Mccombs. My goal post mba is to get back into brand management on the corporate side at a firm like P&G or Frito Lay.
I'm about to start taking some quantitative classes to provide an alternative transcript at a local community college. Right now i've taken Calculus and Accounting and earned A's in both. My GMAT is a 700.
My question is which scenaio puts me in better competitive standing? Should i take another course (statistics) and delay to round 2 or have my 2 classes been enough to show marked improvement and apply in round 1?
Sorry for the long winded response but coming full circle, can you please evaluate my chances at mba programs such as UNC, Emory, Mccombs? And which option i should go for. Round 1 and no more classes or round 2 and 1 more class.
Thank you for your time.

People tend to put too much emphasis on the "Round 1 or Round 2?" question, but in your case, I don't think that taking the one additional course will help much. You've already earned an A in calculus, which is the class that adcomms look for the most, and you got an A in accounting. Your GMAT is also strong. So, I say focus on Round 1 and use that as a way to show your sincere interest in your target schools.
I don't know about your extracurricular or leadership experiences, so it's hard to say, but I'd think that with your work experience, you'd have a great shot at any of those schools. Just be sure that your target firms recruit at your target schools. They tend to be pretty selective, so make sure that you don't end up at a school that won't help you get a foot in the door at P&G, Frito, etc.
