I'll be applying to MBA programs next year. Here are my stats:
White Male, Age 25
GPA: 2.65 , BA History, Top 10 University (US News)
GMAT: 770
Work experience : 4 years on active duty as army intelligence officer, with several leadership positions, deployed to Iraq
Do I have a chance at any of the Top 10-15 MBA programs? I hope that my time as an officer and my GMAT will be enough to offset my poor GPA. My dream school is Dartmouth, can you reccommend any top programs that would look favorably on a high GMAT and military leadership experience, where a low GPA would not be an automatic disqualifier?
Thank you very much for your time.

A low GPA is pretty common amongst military applicants, so I wouldn't worry about it given that you have an exceptional GMAT. A strong GMAT shows that you have the brains - and the low GPA just shows you lacked the effort back then 
Virtually all schools value military folks, although the schools that traditionally covet military officers the most are HBS, Wharton, Stanford, Darden, and Duke.
I encourage you to get in touch with the various veterans' clubs at these top schools - they are usually very good about helping fellow officers out with answering questions and advice. As you may or may not know, the military MBA network is pretty tight knit (probably more so than they are with their own school) so you should definitely reach out to them.
