Hi,
I'm looking to apply in Fall 2010 to enter school in fall 2011. The schools I'm interested in are:
1. Stern
2. Anderson
3. Marshall
4. Stanford*
I took my GMAT in November 2007 and got a 690 (verbal 38 math 46). I'm thinking about retaking this summer as I was getting 720s on my practice tests. I graduated from UCLA in 2007 with an Economics degree and 3.3 GPA. Since then, I've been working at UCLA in Development first and now in Development and Communications. I've also been taking classes through UCLA Extension in marketing, finance, economics, math, etc and have gotten straight A's in all my classes. I also volunteer for a number of non-profit organizations and during my undergrad work I was an athlete. I'm hoping to make a career transition into retail management. How do my chances look?
*I only listed Stanford because my father went there and I am a legacy. Does that still help or not at all?

I think you have a reasonable shot at schools like Stern, Anderson and Marshall - you should be able to get into at least one of them.
As for Stanford, it *can* help if your father was a Stanford GSB alum (less so if he was an alum in another school at the university) - but if you want to give yourself a chance even if your father is a GSB alum, your GMAT needs to be above 700 -- Stanford never likes to admit it publicly, but they have a soft spot for high GMAT scores (until recently when every top school had averages in the 700s, Stanford's was consistently a magnitude higher than the other schools, and hit the 700 threshhold in the late 90s when every other school was in the mid-600s). Oh, and yes obviously you need stellar essays and rec letters as well.
