Is there some reason you think you wouldn't be competitive? That profile looks pretty good. I think you have a good shot anywhere.

Your profile hits all the marks, but it is similar to that of many others, so bottom line is: Write some stellar essays! See the standard books https://www.amazon.com/Great-Application ... 878&sr=8-1 or https://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Into-Top- ... 911&sr=1-1 or search for info in the forums here. Best of Luck!

Profile looks great so far. ThomasD, have you used those books before? Any of the two you would specifically recommend?

I do not have the first, but I have the second book and am currently working through it. Being an avid gmatclub forum reader, many things will sound familiar - and I do not mean simply the GMAT aspects - however, I find it quite useful as a quick reference for the essay writing and general positioning aspects of the application. In the bigger scheme of things I feel it's $20 well spent

Thanks a lot. I will keep tab on the book as well once I finish my GMAT journey...
