Need help with MBA admission???

Hello everybody:

need some honest opinions and/or advices:

I know many you have probably heard these kind of questions a lot, but
I just want to get a feel...

I am thinking about applying to the top 10-20 MBA programs in the fall
and need some brutal opinions about my chances,
especially from guys who have applied to these schools before:

First here is the list of schools I am thinking about applying to:

1 Harvard
2 Stanford
3 MIT
4 Univ. of Penn
5 Northwestern
6. Univ. of Chicago
7. Columbia
9. UC Berkeley
10. Emory
11. London Business School

My undergrad GPA: 3.67 in Computer Science/Math minor; however I went
to a small state university in the south(about 8000 students) - I was
poor then and couldn't afford anything else.

GMAT: 740

Work experience: 3.5 years in software engineering, worked for two
different companies, both are quite large and fairly known.

Speak fluently 3 different languages, during my undergrad years spent
one summer in Western Europe doing demographical research and one
summer in Russia working with medical teams.

I am afraid that my education not being from a very known school, plus
my work experience not involving direct management of people could
really hurt my case...

Could you please advice? Can I write my essays certain way that would
help my application.
Would be very thankful for any advice...

You certainly have a great GMAT score and a strong GPA - so it is
clear you can handle the academic rigor of a top MBA program. But a
lot of your b-school application will hinge on how well you
communicate your leadership experiences. You don't need direct
management of people, but you do need to show that you can lead.
Your essays will need to be inspiring and have a "wow" quality. Feel
free to email me at info.TakeThisOut@attain-group.com if you would like to discuss
your case further. I have an MBA from Harvard Business School and
experience in working with candidates from each of the schools you
listed.
