young_gun,
Whoops, sorry about that! I like your profile. It's distinctive (e.g., extracurriculars, especially the high-level work experience). The biotech to hedge fund to endowment fund management path is unusual. I like it. Endowment fund management -- now there's a career goal that B-schools probably don't encounter often. My only concern regarding your profile is the employment status. If you can find a position, hopefully one that's not an obvious step back, I would encourage that. You don't want to have to submit such an intriguing profile that ends on such a sour note. Assuming you do find a comparable or better position, I see your chances as follows:
*Safeties*:
vanderbilt
emory
georgetown
*Competitive*
unc
uva
duke
cornell
yale
ucla
nyu
*Long shot*
columbia
dartmouth
northwestern
