Stacy,
I understand that schools look at the applicant as a 'whole' during the admissions process and no one area will make or break your chances in general. However, if you had to rank GPA, GMAT score, Essays and work experience in order, which would you put at the top and which at the bottom?
My main concern is work experience. I would like to pursue an MBA right out of my undergrad because I feel my opportunity cost will be the lowest then. I have a nearly a 4.0 GPA (got one B) and do not expect to get below a 700 on my GMAT (I take the test in one month). I am a Media Studies major and a Spanish major with a business minor. My undergrad is at Buena Vista University in Iowa (small private liberal arts school). My main working experience is from two internships with television stations. I also have some leadership examples on campus as Production Manager of the University Cable Network, President of the Spanish Club, and a Senator on the Student Body Senate.
I am aiming for schools in the top 25.
