GMAT: 700 (50Q, 34V, 5.5 AWA )

Education: I graduated from IIT - Kharagpur (batch of 2008). I completed my Bachelors' and Masters' as a part of my Integrated M.Sc from the Dept. of Mathematics. Majored in Maths with a specialization in Computing.

GPA : 6.2 ( Spent too much time in extra-curriculars )

Profession: I have been working as a Supply Chain Analyst in Accenture's Management Consulting Division for the last 1.5 years and would have completed 2 yrs of job-ex by Fall 2010. Handled a couple of US clients. I came up with an indigenous tool on my last project (to be precise, it's an Expected Stock Model Simulator ). I also am actively involved in Reliability Centred Asset Management Development.

Extra-Curriculars: I hold a couple of National Maths Olympiad awards, Green Olympiad ( founded by TERI - a non-profit Govt. Org.)
I was one of the organizing heads of one of East-India's first of its kind and largest FPS only, online gaming tournament. (after WCG)
I temp with an NGO for the old and the elderly.
I am a freelance fashion photographer, with a few prints in some fitness magazines ( including a cover page in one) to my credit.
I am a freelance fitness trainer and a gym instructor.

I am aware of my not-so-great GPA and a decent-but-could-definitely-be-better GMAT score.
Should I be skeptical about my applications for IVY-League colleges ?

I am not aware of my "market-value"....I want to evaluate my chances..I've sought the help of some Admission Counselors here and they are bloody pathetic. Please crit my profile and help me evaluate myself / my chances for fall - 2010. Am I being naive and hopeful of something way beyond my league ?

Please let me know what you think ?! Should you require any further information...would be glad to provide :)
