I can get my applications and recommendations ready by September 2009 for the Round one deadlines. However, I don't believe I will have a good GMAT score by then. I am weak in the Quant section. I just started actual studying (in June).

--Worked on projects ranging from NASA to Disney---we mostly worked with US Govt. sponsored projects in the field of virtual reality
--Taught elementary school at local public schools as a sub
--Currently working for an international non profit (their focus is on education for children in child labor) I'm the only employed person they have in US and I manage all the different aspects of the organization--accounting/finance, advertising/pr, administrative etc
My extracurricular activities
Positions Held

NOW TO MY QUERY...(sorry for long post but had to put out some stuff before asking my question)
PS My reason for MBA...in short...is that I want to learn the basics of managing a business so that in 10-15 yrs I can have my own social business (in the fields of education and health care) and an event management company (catering to events by organizations like AmFAR etc)
