Would you mind evaluating my profile please?

Background: 25 year old male of mixed ethnicity (half white/half asian)

Undergrad: 3.15 GPA (3.35 junior and senior year + dean's list during junior year) from Duke with electrical engineering major/ classical studies minor. I did ROTC for 4 years to finance my education and served as the Wing Commander my final semester (like a student group president). I was also the Chief Financial Officer of a student company with $500,000 in sales and 100 employees.

GMAT: 720 (Q 50 95th percentile, V 37 83rd percentile, AWA 5.0)

Work Experience: I'm a military officer working in an Air Force unit tasked with conducting test rocket launches on the West Coast. I'm currently in charge of a 3 man team responsible for overseeing the production of 2 $85 million rockets. I'll have 4 years of work experience by the time I hope to matriculate.
My achievements at work include being designated junior officer of the quarter in my unit (out of 69 total junior officers). I was also selected as a Distinguished Graduate (top 10% for academics, leadership, and officership) at my functional training (space and missiles training) and outstanding performer (top 15% for academics) at the our Air Force basic officer training.

Extracurriculars - I'm in charge of providing community service opportunities to 600+ young officers on base. My most significant achievements in this capacity are providing 10 commited volunteers to volunteer as tutors at the local library, providing 5 commited volunteers to read to children at the local health clinic, and leading a base wide fundraiser that provided 1500 books to donate to disadvantaged children in the local area.

Alternative Transcript - A's in Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting. Plan on taking micro and macro economics.

Career Goals: I've narrowed it down to general management in a defense company (Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman) and management consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Booz)

Looking at Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, UC Berk, UCLA, and USC.

Thanks!

swbluedevil,

You have a very impressive profile though in my opinion it's not quite distinctive or unusual enough for Harvard or Stanford, though I wouldn't discourage you from applying there. I think your odds are good at UCLA and USC, and you will definitely be competitive at Haas and Wharton.

Good luck,
