<p>I'm in a bit of a state of flux. My GPA is around a 3.5 at the University of Virginia's College at Wise. I know I'm years of work experience away from applying to an MBA program, but I've already started looking. </p>
<p>The thing is, I can't figure out how hard it really is to get into these top tier MBA programs. Duke and Georgetown both, for example, list their average GPA's as around 3.4. If I have a 3.5, do well (near 700?) on the GMAT, etc., shouldn't I be safe? I mean, I know this is ALL relative to decent work experience. But I'm interning for a United States senator and should have some opportunities available to me that'll look good.</p>
<p>Should I feel sort of safe with Georgetown MBA, or is a 3.5 too low?</p>
