Howdy folks,
I've decided to apply for MBA programs, entering in 2013--so I have some time. I think I know where my strengths and weaknesses are, but I'd appreciate any insight y'all could offer. I have roughly eight months to kick things into an even higher gear, and I'm genuinely super eager for the opportunity this application process offers.
Basic demographic info: 24, white American male
Educational Background: History BA from a top-20 school. 3.4 GPA, 3.7 in major, graduated in 3 years. Apartment was wrecked during Hurricane Ike, so that semester's GPA is significantly lower than the others, but I don't think I'd include that in an application. 750 GMAT (47/47/6). Taking online CS classes via Stanford.
Work experience: Just left after two years at a Bay Area VC-funded startup in a heavy analytics and design role. Employee #25 (200~ employees Promoted a few times, moved among departments frequently. Very high performance numbers. Initial inquiries into the job market were positive, so I'm taking a month off to find another small startup where I can learn aggressively and get some serious work done.
Prior to that, a year in publishing and theater nonprofits (writer). I also teach writing classes to kids in the Bay Area. Spent a semester teaching social studies to kids in inner-city Philadelphia.
Extracurriculars: I funded/founded a citizen journalism project in Palestine! It's super fun. We're getting published, fingers crossed, by a major publisher next year (currently in discussion). Wrote and photographed a travelogue that hit The Atlantic and even got me a few death threats. Also a freelance photographer and I'm spending some time learning how to develop some neat, useful browser apps.
Short/Long term goals: Short-term: MBA would offer me significant professional and personal development. I'm comfortable in business development and analytics in the Bay Area startup space, but would be amenable to change. Additionally, I hope to use an MBA network to make developing future extracurricular projects, like the Palestinian journalism initiative, easier, more potent, and more effectual.
Long-term goal: teach middle school in an inner city by age 45. Everything until then is a sandbox to build things that do personal and public good.
Schools: Stanford & Haas, initially.
Uniqueness: Very broad but strong skillset--won national writing awards, photos published in nationally recognized and prestigious publications, crack VBA/SQL/design/quant analysis skills, relentless and sincere pursuit of professional and personal development.
Recommendations: I have colleagues from most of the top MBA programs, so I'd probably get a letter from my direct supervisor and whichever pal attended the school to which I'm applying.
Whaddya think? Too sentimental?

Sounds like your profile is in the right ballpark for those schools, but nothing in top 10 schools is a sure thing! I would recommend concentrate long an hard on your essays and the rest of your app. Remember to stay humble, and show the adcoms exactly why YOU would be a great fit for their school. Best of luck to you!
