Dear Gil,
I would like to hear what you think about my profile, and what weaknesses I need to provide additional evidence to overcome any concerns. I would also like to know what aspects you consider especially strong, and that I should play up in my applications.

Education:
BSc in Electrical Engineering, Graduated 2005, GPA between 3.7 and 4.0, One of Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT/Caltech
PhD in Electrical Engineering, Graduated 2009, GPA between 3.7 and 4.0, One of Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT/Caltech

GMAT: 780 (Q: 49, V:51)

Work experience:
Junior professor in Electrical Engineering at one of Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT/Caltech
Previous senior engineer roles in both startups and Fortune 100 companies

Target schools:
Harvard
Stanford
Wharton

I'm particularly interested in getting some form of scholarship, if possible.

Can you please let me know what you think are weaknesses I need to overcome, and what strengths I should play up on? What factors help scholarship decisions?

I am currently 31. Is my age a significant disadvantage in admission decisions to my target schools?

Thanks!

Paul
