Help - advice needed,part-time MBA (what are my chances?)

All,

I just finished taking the GMAT and I am very disappointed with my score. This is my second time taking it and I got the same score - 640!
I want to pursue a part-time MBA program at a top 10 school. I am thinking to apply to:
1) NYU Stern - Langone weekends
2) U. Chicago part-time
3) Columbia/LBS/HKU Global Asia EMBA
4) Northwestern
Can I please have some candid advice on whether I have a decent chance to get admitted to any of the above?
My profile:
Undergraduate: B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University (Decision Science, minor in Business); low overall GPA as I started out in Biology - major GPA is 3.4
Work experience: total of 5 years; 3 years buy-side equity analyst in New York with Bank of America; current - emerging markets management strategy consulting for Fortune 100 firms... I manage a team of 7 and travel frequently to Asia, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. I joined my current firm during its start-up phase had a significant impact in making the firm profitable, scaling our business to $20 million in sustainable revenue (100%+ growth y-o-y) and expanding our client base to 200 leading multi nationals... all during the global downturn.
I have a track record of leadership and I am a star performer at my current job (got promoted 3 times in two years).
Background: half American and half Indian. I grew up in a village in India and have been travelling globally since my childhood. My father is from a Russian Jewish American family and my mother is from a traditional Indian family.
I really don't want the GMAT to hold me back as I would like to pursue an MBA in 2011.
I would appreciate any help or advice.

Best,

Adeem

Dear Adeem,

I think it is possible you could get into one or more of these part-time programs with your current profile IF your application package is outstanding and you have a solid rationale for going to business school. Your professional experience is your biggest asset, so use it to your advantage. I also highly encourage you to visit these schools, if you haven't already, and establish a rapport with the admissions office such that there is a face to your application, not just a name. Of course, there are no guarantees and there are many other outstanding part-time programs out there from schools outside the top 10 that you might want to consider if you want to matriculate in 2011. It might be worth it to identify and apply to these as well to ensure you start business school on the timeline you wish.

Good luck,
Lisa
