What is your actual GPA? Also, do you have any current community involvement?

You have a solid profile. You can make your application stand out by clearly showing how the MBA program(s) you are targeting specifically fits your goals. For instance, does the program have a concentration that will provide you with specifics skills/knowledge, do certain companies recruit there, are there internship/study abroad opportunities that appeal to you? Also, be sure to show what you can contribute to the program (i.e. unique skills and/or knowledge base). Finally, visit the program or a local information session if available. This will help you make contacts and further show your interest.
