Hello,
Been a long time reader on this forum, but finally decided to join. I am currently 27 years old white male. Below is a quick summary on my profile:
Undergraduate: Local Pittsburgh private university
Undergraduate majors/GPA: Accounting & Finance, 3.21 GPA, & decent activities while in school including leadership & Omicron Delta Kappa honor society.
Professional: 2.5 years in regional public accounting (non-Big 4) where I earned my CPA. I then went to work at McKinsey (networked to get the position). I have been an analyst for about two years. I have received interest for either a government job in Washington DC or a corporate strategy/M&A job with a large defense company in Washington DC (I worked on a number of projects with defense companies at McKinsey). I dont think I want to go right into a MBA from McKinsey, I want some corporate experience in strategy/M&A.
I will have good letters of recommendation. I would imagine one will be from a superior here at McKinsey & another will be from my next job. My community involvement has been decent, especially given my travel schedule. I am on the Young Alumni Council at my alma mater & on the Young Board of Directors at one of my former audit clients. I also work on random projects/events with friends. I would also spend time on my essays talking about how I've rebounded since an average undergrad performance and also how I have coped with being diagnosed with a chronic auto-immune illness and what I have done since then.
I can only estimate my GMAT since I haven't taken it yet, but I'd look for a score in 720-750, hopefully closer to 750.
Would anyone have any idea what MBA school range would be a good fit for me? I love the top 5 MBA schools (like everyone else). I visited Harvard & Yale for a class trip back in high school and both campuses were awesome. Would I have a chance at any of Harvard, Wharton, or Booth? Or should I be looking more #5-15 schools?
Thanks

Pittsburgh23 would need to know more about the qualitative nature of the project you've worked on but I think that should you get a good score on the GMAT at least a 49 on the Quant you will be a contender for a top-5 school. But I would really really urge you to apply broadly because you're not sure how the GPA thing will really play out or who else will apply of course. As a white male consultant you're over represented as I'm sure you are aware. Try to get as much mileage as possible from the content you prepare and apply to universities that you will be okay with even if not true love. To separate yourself make sure to attend admissions events and articulate that research in your essays.
