HBS would be a stretch program for you, even with a higher GMAT. However, my comments are based on your current GMAT. Given your goals also consider Duke, Darden, Ross, UT Austin, UNC, Cornell (and maybe Cornell Tech) and UCLA.
Best,
Linda

Hey all,
Please have a look at my profile
Background: Asian-Australian Male (Vietnamese but born and raised in Australia)
Undergrad GPA: Not sure but it'd be just under 3.0? Admittedly did not apply myself in my undergrad. Would have done a lot of things differently if I could go back.
Although was heavily involved in my student organisation and was the VP for a year.
Qualifications: I have a Masters in Optometry.
GMAT: Expecting about ~710 (I feel I can potentially get this higher)
Work Experience: ~ 4.5 years as an Optometrist. My last 2 years I worked as Locum (or Contractor) going from clinic to clinic all over Australia doing lots of FIFO/DIDO work. I've worked in regional and remote locations, often might be the only eye care professional within a 3-4 hour drive. Lot of work with training/mentoring new graduates in a previous job.
Community and others: I have done a volunteer trip to Vietnam representing the Fred Hollows foundation. Working closely with local doctors/nurses, sharing skills and offering advice etc. Also ran clinics in local schools.
Other qualifications: I am a certified Snowboard Instructor (CASI Level 2). Snowboarding is my life. Spent one season in Canada a few years ago.
Post-MBA goals: I'm looking at a career change and am hoping the MBA can steer me in the right direction. I want to start a career in finance.
Having had a look at some of the profiles on here I realised mine is quite weak in comparison. My GPA holds me back and I don't have a lot of corporate experience.
However, I come from an underrepresented demographic/industry. Will this help?
I have become disillusioned in my current career and am set on doing an MBA. I have so much more I need to learn and Harvard is the pipe dream. Realistically, what are my chances?
Cheers.
