3.5 cum; 3.9 major gpa in interdisciplinary social sciences with senior project
averaging about 660-690 on GMAT practice. Not very good test taker, prob will max at top 600s. SAT's went same way.
Experience:
S&T top BB SA - will do this summer

Summer 2008- worked at apple store
Summer 2007- congressional intern
Awards: won multiple major film festival awards for students for two films
Interesting things: travel to close to 30 countries, speak spanish and also studied 2 years college chinese
@ metrovestments: thats a hell of a MF profile, and exactly the whole 2+2 non-finance image. GPA is on the low end for sure, so try and bring it up to 3.4ish by graduation IMO. Engineering major? GMAT score?
@ westcoaster: Great academically, great WE (ditch Apple store thing though). I'm sure you can do better on GMAT if you get the hang of it if you have 3.9 range GPA in social sciences. You should be aiming for a 50 raw on the verbal section. You have the same problem I do of looking a little finance-y with the junior S&T SA thing but you have alot of humanitarian/social entrepreneurship angles to spin.
....
Looking forward to other people's posts.

You have great stats. Most who apply have the stats to get in, including yourself. It is all about selling yourself... I'm sure there will be at least one psych major staking claim to a coveted spot this year... Sell your story better than anyone else. If I was in your shoes, I'd leverage the hell out of the marathons and Boeing internship in my essays--the two things that set you apart from most.

Just took presidency of the entrepreneur club (250 members)
Planning on scaling back work to 40 hours per week so I can make time to attend class, improve grades, and travel before I graduate
Applying round 2 December 2011
I have never heard of an Entrepreneurial club with 250 members, that is quite inflated
