I want a top 20 MBA - currently go to a state school

Currently a senior Russian and Economics major at a state school in Texas

I really want to get into a top 20 MBA program

Will graduate with a 3.6 if not a little higher and will be going into the army as an officer. After I plan on applying for a MBA.

Got a 3.0 cum. Freshman year, after that 3.75+ every semester.

Regarding GMAT I will be able to get a 700+

Do I have a decent chance of getting into a MBA program?

You should be competitive, as long as your GMAT is above a 700 min (and ideally above 720 -but who knows in 5 years, with GMAT inflation the way it is, probably closer to 740+).

I'm a Naval officer. I've heard of military guys with 650 GMATs getting into Darden. You shouldn't have anything to worry about- just go out and kill it during your first couple military tours. Good luck.
