but my gpa is as low as 2.68 due to some serious problems.my first semester gpa is only 1.67 and remaining semester's gpa ranges from 2.6 to 3.23 and also never fails in any course through out my degree.

Dear yasir:
Admission to a top 5 mba program is difficult for any applicant, regardless of the profile, because it is highly competitive. You need to strive for the best GMAT score possible, put together a strong application, and address your weak academic performance directly. The coursework may help to offset your undergraduate peformance. I would also encourage you to consider schools outside of the top 5 as many of these programs are strong and will give you what you are looking for in terms of curriculum and career opportunities.
Good luck!
