Hi,
Could you please give me some advice regarding my chances at getting accepted for Fall 2010:
Hispanic Male, age 31, from S. America (currently a foreign citizen, but with Permanent Resident Status). Currently residing in a western state (93.2% White - 86% White Non Hispanic).
Will take GMAT in 2 weeks (realistically 660-690 range).
Got a Bachelors Degree in Business Management in 2005. Top regional college.
GPA 3.11 (last 4 semesters GPA 3.50)
Worked from 2005-2008 on the private side of Health Industry (doubled revenues for my 4-person team). Switched to work for the State after the collapse of the economy in Sep2008, currently survived 3 rounds of lay-offs (only 2 out of 18 with the same seniority survived lay-off rounds). Currently working at a special position where my position is partially funded by the Federal Government & Private Hospital.

Extra curricular activities:
2 Years religious mission (unpaid) in South America, overseeing 160 missionaries.
Once youth national champion on my sport/hobby (in South America)- played National events in Philly, Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, etc

Taught sport/hobby at a Title I school for the last 3 years, getting second place statewide, also taught same soprt/hobby at Two Recreation Centers for the last 3 years.
I'm planning on applying to HBS, Stanford, Booth, Wharton, Kellog, Ross, Yale, MIT on th 1st Round. What are my chances?
