Hi,

Planning on applying for an MBA at Harvard for 2010 (my ‘wishful thinking’ school) :). If anyone can look over what I’ve written and give me a fair view of my chances I would really really appreciate it.

I’m working full time as well as freelancing, volunteering and studying a BA in English Literature by Correspondence with the University of London - my GPA is OK, approx 3.2, I should be done with the BA in July 2010. I’ve been working full time since 2004. I recently took the GMAT, scored a 700.
My work experience includes Graphic design, teaching languages, teaching Art, secretarial and administrative works and right now I am the Executive Assistant to the Chairman/ owner of a pretty large company (over 1000 employees).
However, I have no accounting background or management background and in my education or experience. As mentioned above, my GPA is not very good and my GMAT score is on the edge. Do I stand a chance?! How can I improve my chances?
