So I'm not looking for hard probabilities and I promise I won't hold anyone to what they say, I'm just looking for a broad "Yea it's possible" to "No you are stupid for even considering it".
3.4 GPA from the University of Arizona in Accounting
4 Years of employment experience with management experience
GMAT 680 with 41V 43Q 7IR
Not a minority by any means
Will probably write a good essay and have middle of the pack letters of rec
I wouldn't apply until next year, but I'm only going to attend if it's a top 20 school.
What are you thoughts? Is it worth applying or am I stupid for thinking I could get in?

Without knowing the details, I'd say there's always a chance, but I'd retake the GMAT for a higher score, if I were you.

Looks like you have a great Verbal score. Yet, I would take the GMAT again to bring your Quant score up. If you have spent 4 years in accounting, you can handle the math - you probably just need to learn some of the tricks. Having over a 700 will increase your chances by a ton. Look into test prep books and websites.
You also need to write more than a good essay, you need to write a REALLY AMAZING one! Once you score over 700, start writing and re-writing and re-writing. Campus visits and informational interviews with current student, alumni, and admission staff are also a very good idea.
ballpark chances right now: maybe less than 25% ~ but don't think of applying to B-School in term of chances, you need to do a lot of research to determine which schools would be best for you, and give them your best. I'm sure you can get in with a 680, but over 700 will show schools you are interested, and then blow them away with an amazing essay.
Hopes this helps & good luck!

Obviously without knowing more about your work exp (industry) and EC's etc, its hard to know what your true odds are. However, the one thing we are all in control of is our GMAT score. Higher score = better odds no matter how you slice it.
