I have posted the same on Linda's page but i really am in a hurry please understand my persistence.
I am a 23 years old, turkish computer engineer. my post may be a little long so I appreciate your patience.
Gpa:2.5 (freshman and senior year both over 3 senior year gpa being 3.2, and one of the turkey's best schools where the system is different and the grades arent handed out like american colleges)
my gpa is low because I worked part time in my sophopmore and junior years, in an subsidiary of an MNC.
gmat 740 however awa 4.5. toefl 277
there will be only 1 year ft work ex. by the time i wil be enrolled but in our family firm which is a seriously developing energy firm which i am already a partner and one of the prospective ceos and I think i will have good lors from there and the company that I worked for part-time.
one additional major drawback would be I am aplying to the march deadlines.
I have many academic accomplishments and some in the states when i was an exchange student in the high school.
Now , can you please evaluate my chances for the schools on the list below. Its a long list from which I need to pick out my schools asap. I really value your comments so please do tell in which schools below i do have a chance and I should apply for. I consider applying to more than 7-8.
