In Call center what position are you in — floor manager ?? — shift incharge ??

Anyways the point is what you did and are doing currently also helps/mars your chances. Remember schools are trying to pick the top candidates such that they will get good placements thereby increasing the repution — and subsequently attract other top candidates. Hence the criteria always is how likely you are going to be a top candidate — and acads/experience is a sure way to picking.

For example, at Harvard — one sure way of getting in apart from GMAT is if your dad runs a successfull business with turnover above certain threhold. Reason: You are gonna take over that business and in the long run become a successful alumni.

If you still feel you did like to get an MBA – I suggest you do a Masters in Engineering – get a good grades (without dropping courses — yes top schools are finicky about ATKTs — heck 3.8 GPA is considered bad).
Once you get a good MS degree — your acads wont come into question.
