well there is no doubt you are an interesting candidate. You have real positives (experience, intellect, eastern europe) but some challenges (age, i.e. you are later in applying, R3 is always tough, and UG GPA). You might consider 1 year MBA Programs, but they are generally in Europe. If you want to go to Silicon Valley, you want to look at Haas etc. All will be very challenging this year, and next year you will be another year older. So a conundrum. I would definitely apply this year, with the knowledge that even with a very well executed application, it will be very challenging. Sorry for waffling. cheers, alex
