Hello,
I am a transitioning military officer looking to apply to business school in round 2 of this year. Here is a quick look at my profile:
1) Work Experience: I am an Infantry Officer in the US Army. Graduate of Ranger School. Served one year as a Platoon Leader responsible for 35 Soldiers and now serve as the Executive Officer (2nd in command) for a 100-man company. Rated in the top 10% of all Infantry Lieutenants. Will be promoted to Captain after finishing up my 4th year in the Army in May of 2017.
2) GMAT: 690 (86th percentile); Q 44 (54th percentile); V 40 (91st percentile); IR 8 (92nd percentile); AWA awaiting score
3) Undergraduate: University of Virginia; Major in Economics, Minor in Religious Studies; 3.18 GPA (but 2.7 Economics GPA); Graduated in 2013
4) Extracurriculars: President of Theta Chi Fraternity (awarded Greek Man of the Year); President of the Army ROTC Cadet Association; Student Basketball Manager for the UVA Mens Basketball team.
5) Certifications: None; Army badges include Ranger, Airborne, Air Assault and Expert Infantryman Badge.
6) Target Schools: Northwestern, Yale, UVA, Michigan, Cornell, UCLA, Texas, Indiana, Georgetown, USC, Vanderbilt
7) Application: R1 2016-17 (begin school fall of 2017)
8) Future Goals: Interested in Entrepreneurial studies and using my organizational/leadership knowledge to start my own business. Also interested in government consulting.
I am looking for an mba admissions consultant who is familiar with the military and has experience assisting junior military officers applying to business school. I need someone who will help me translate my military experience to success in business school.
Please let me know if you (or a company you know) can help me.
Thanks,
Miles

Hi mjk8tm,
As with applicants from military/ government background (pre-MBA, I worked in the government), you belong to a relatively less-represented applicant pool at most schools, but you got to convert that potential.
Your Quant score stands out a bit. Therefore, you need to highlight some quant/ analytical instances from your academic and/ or professional work which offset 54 percentile. Schools are more hardnosed when it comes to Quant (than Verbal).
You may find this too useful:
Non-Traditional Applicant? Here’s How You Can Strengthen Your Application
And, if entrepreneurship is your goal, you need to show the grasp, details of the industry/ market you plan to pursue post-MBA. You may go through some examples here:
How to articulate career goals?
