Hi Sarajevo123, With your solid work experience, strong GMAT, good extracurriculars, you stand a good chance in any of the schools you mentioned. Some caveats: 1. Undergraduate school: The reputation of the college you went to would have a positive or negative impact. 2. Years of experience: Some schools (e.g. HBS) prefer younger candidates, while others tend to have a an older student body (e.g. IMD). In your essays, you'd need to demonstrate why you would be a good fit for that particular school. Good luck! _______________________ The AdvantageApplied Teamhttp://www.advantageapplied.comHelping international applicants to top business schools develop their personal brand

Reading your profile, it is obvious that you have excelled in every aspect of your life and I would consider you to be a competitive candidate at every school that you have on your list. However, being a competitive candidate is simply not enough -- you have to submit and application that makes you stand out from your fellow applicants -- which well over 50% of all applicants are also competitive at these schools. This means that you have to work very hard in submitting a well crafted application (with compelling essays), strong recommendations, a strong interview, etc. These are the final make or break aspects of your candidacy -- and those that will either allow you to attend a school like HBS or not.
