1) I am a practicing attorney with 2 years experience, mixed litigation, though predominantly criminal, at a respected NC firm. A reason I am seeking my MBA is to take my legal career in a different direction. 1 year prior work experience as a manufacturing engineer. Many years of part-time work during school.
2) 730 GMAT 47/44 with 8 IR
3) Undergrad Miami Ohio- 2.4 GPA in Mechanical Engineering. No real extenuating circumstances other than 30 hours a week of work. Screwed off a lot/no ambition. Upward trend from first year 1.9 to last year 3.0
Michigan State College of Law 3.8 (top 5%) - Got my act together
4) Undergrad extras - just work. Shift manager at restaurant.
Law School - Moot Court, Journal (not Law Review) editor, Double Internships each summmer (Law firms, Federal Judiciary, State Attorney General Office)
5) NC licensed attorney
6) I began this process to shoot for the top. Target Programs are GSB, HBS, Booth, Wharton, Sloan, and then 2 alternates (going to try 6-7 apps R2)
7) R2 2014-2015. R3 if necessary. I missed the boat on round 1. My main question is submitting this post is, should I diversify more or can I shoot for the moon and do ok in R3 if I miss in R2?
8) My goal is to get a job as corporate counsel/associate general counsel for a corporation I believe in, preferably tech, or a firm that caters to such business. I Want to help guide and defend a company that is going to make a positive difference tomorrow. After that, I would like to eventually climb into corporate governance and a General Counsel/CLO role. I will need a top MBA to propel me on this goal because Google and its ilk don't hire out of MSU Law.
Thank you very much for your time and help!

Thanks for sharing your profile. Congrats on really pulling things together after college with a high law school GPA and a strong performance on the GMAT. i think if by "shooting for the moon" you mean applying to the top 5 I think you're going to have some issues. The numbers at super elite schools like HBS and Wharton bear out that with an undergrad GPA as low as yours gaining admission is a long shot. Another hang up is your work experience although you are a practicing attorney you have very little business related work experience and if you were interested in business practicing on the criminal side of law screws up your story a bit so you will have to clarify that a bit in your essays. I think if you want to pick one school to take a flyer on on that tier, I would consider Kellogg give their preponderance to be more focused on the person and less about raw numbers. Also, given your midwest academic background Kellogg may see you as a stronger fit candidate.
I would expand your list to the top 25 and spread your target schools out to give yourself a better chance of admission.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for setting me straight. Please forgive my excited Naievete! I have compiled a hopefully more realistic application list and would very much appreciate your input if you have the time!
7 applications - r2 2014-15.
Core5:
Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, Darden, Ross
with
2 prospective pairs for the other spots:
Haas and Kenan-Flagler
or
Yale and Anderson
Do either of those pairs strike you as rounding off an appropriate list, or am I still too aggressive in my choices? Di you think I have a chance of landing a hit?
Thank you so much again for your help!
