Really thought I had a shot. 760 GMAT! 3.8 from an Ivy! What are they looking for?
It is not all about the numbers! Having high GMAT/GPA helps (A LOT) but it is not enough to secure an admit at any top business school.
I believe that your story (WE, personality, fit, ECs...) and your career goals (how marketable you are post-MBA according to your goals and prior WE) are more or at least equally important factors that b-schools take into consideration. Demographics are also very relevant, if you belong to a highly competitive pool you will need to make higher efforts to stand out from the "crowd" than if you have an "atypical" profile.
I hope this helps
