Hjort-
I'd love to hear your opinion on my chances to get into an elite/ultra-elite b-school with a strong focus on international business. I have a degree in a social sciences field from a large public with a 3.7 GPA/4.0 major. My GMAT score is 700 (Q 42 / V 49). I will be applying for entry in fall 07, so I will have close to two and a half years of work experience by then, mostly with a family-owned real estate financing company but including one internship in Hawaii and one in Europe. I also played Division I football in college and volunteer regularly with 3 small organizations. What are my chances for a Columbia, Wharton, NYU, Duke, etc?
Also what is your opinion of admission consultants? Thanks for your help.
