I'm currently debating where I really want to apply and my list has come down to Darden, Ross, Tuck, and either Haas or Kellogg (maybe Duke but I'm not really into them). My stats are 3.3 GPA (econ, top 20 private school, transfered from a state school with a 4.0 after freshman year and it isn't included in that 3.3 but I don't know if anyone even looks at that...), 700 (43Q/42V low quant but I did econ and have a lot of quant stuff in my transcript so I should be ok, I hope), 4 years of WE in federal consulting, and good ECs after college.
My ultimate goal is to join a start-up or possibly start a business right out of school or potentially go into strategy consulting and then make the transition. So which is harder for someone like me to get into: Haas or Kellogg?

I think Haas has a very entrepreneurial culture and would be more along the lines of your goals. However, it means that's exactly the people it attracts and your chances to stand out will be slimmer. Also, on pure numbers, of course, Kellogg has a 21% acceptance rate and Haas has only 12%. That's 2x in terms of chances.
I would say Kellogg would be "easier" but I will be probably laughed at for simplifying it this much. The bottom line is nobody knows until you try. So much depends on your LOR's, essays, and interviews, that it is REALLY hard to tell.
Good luck!

Thanks for the input. Haas is really sticking out to me right now.
