Another... "what are my chances" thread...

So here is the deal - I am graduating from a smaller state school (although it is usually ranked high for our region). My GPA sucked early on because of a few personal problems (my father committed suicide, I had to have surgery to help prevent cancer... both caused me to miss a bit of school and perform poorly)

At any rate, since my second semester (I am on my 10th) my GPA has continued to rise. My last 4 semesters in school will have GPA's of:

3.5 (19 credits, upper level business) - already in the books
4.0 (18 credits, upper level business) - already in the books
3.6 (18 credits, upper level business) - this one could be higher, depending on how I do
4.0 (13 credits for full-time internship in the arts) - pretty much guaranteed 'A'

I will graduate this summer with around a 3.5 having two degrees in Business Administration and Arts Management (a rare, and respected program).

My fiance will continue with her schooling here in my hometown for two more years. In that time I will be working. I will likely be applying for B-Schools two years from now.

I have taken numerous practice GMAT tests and I score pretty consistently - around 700, sometimes perfect on quant.

Do I have a shot at a good school two years from now (I will be 25)? What do you think my prospects are?

Thanks!
