Hi Hjort,
Can I trouble you for a bit of advice? I've assembled my profile (background, what I plan to do, etc) and am wondering if it is solid enough for a good application. I know I'm missing some post-college community involvement but was wondering: what else should I be focused on? Would appreciate any suggestions or advice you have!!
Thanks in advance for your help, (I'm incredibly grateful!),
A.

Schools I'm definitely looking at: U-Chicago, Wharton, Kellogg, MIT, Duke, IESE.
Might apply to: Tuck, Darden, HBS, NYU.
