Would I get into Babson College?

Hi everyone, i'll just give a quick rundown. PSAT scores were: 71 Critical Reading, 63 Writing, 57 Mathematics for a selection index of 191. WIth tutoring and other things I expect a perfect score on critical reading, and high 600's as the minimum scores for math and writing. Unfortunately, my gpa is very low, at about a 3.1 (I had a 3.28 at end of freshman year, but a rough sophmore year). I should be able to raise this a good couple of points, maybe a 3.2-3.4+ish. However, my school (it's public) is one of the top 500 in the country, and is known to be fairly tough. It is in a small town near boston. One of the main reasons my gpa is so low is spanish, which I have gotten C's and C+'s in regular level cles. I take two AP's, English+History. Two honors, Chemistry and Pre-Calculus. This year I might pull off a B or B+ in spanish, but I'm not sure. Other than spanish I really get fine grades. I have an extreme interest in business and strong connections to the business world, (I can probably get a reccomendation or phone call to the college from Arthur Blank, who is an alumni and owns a building there). Extra-Curriculars: Model United Nations, Mock Trial, A Capella, Philosophy Club, I had a summer job working at staples and interned at a fairly large company. My dad makes $240,000-$290,000 a year and we are white/jewish. On a final note, I interview and write very well.If you think I can get in, say why, and if you cant, say what I should do to improve since i'm still only a junior. Also, if you dont mind, can I get into BC (I know somebody on the board of advisors for the Carroll School of management very well.), bentley college. If you have any suggestions for other good business schools, feel free to mention them after you answer my question.
