Hi there,
I am intrigued to know what draws you to the MBA degree at all, and that would be the biggest question of admissions committees as well!
It is possible to go to business school with a background in the arts, but you still need to demonstrate that you can handle the academic rigor of an MBA program, and in particular the quantitative aspects. A strong academic record and GMAT can provide that evidence, but with a very weak academic profile and no clear rationale for the MBA (at least mentioned yet), to be honest your chances of any top 25 programs would be extremely slim. If your GMAT is extremely high, that would help a little, and you would need a clear plan for why you need the MBA for your goals. But best advice would be to try some additional academic coursework in statistics or other quant classes, to demonstrate that you can handle the coursework, score extremely high on the GMAT, solidify those plans and your rationale, and aim for a lower-tier set of schools.
Let us know how else we can help.

Thank you for your response..
I would like to start a production company and a Theater group basically who can work for Social cause(NGO), it will be more of taking government projects.
MBA will add a value in my resume moreover it will give me an exposure to the international market to get connected with right network.
Secondly as far as the diversity in the class is concern i will be the right candidate almost all the students will learn from me.For example i am very extrovert, expressive , how to attract people who are walking on road etc. Most importantly i have worked for many social causes just to make people more aware and attentive without any money.
Finally yes i want to do mba to earn money because a project wont just work on willingness it would need money.\\
And yes i understand ivey would be difficult, i am open to quality programs and not just ivey.
Thank you would love to hear your response.
