Hi,
I just tried out the business school selector at veritasprep's website, and it gave me some surprisingly good results.
It suggested that I apply to Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Upenn. Basically, this is my profile. I have no work experience post-graduation, but after one of my friends at university got accepted to INSEAD with 0 years of post-graduation experience, I figured it would be foolish not to investigate this further. (and another one got into JD/MBA at chapman with no work experience, but that is not as significant) And after trying out the selector with my profile I was delightfully surprised.
Age: 26
Current GPA: 3.58 (still have two semesters left to graduate, might be able to raise to 3.65-3.7)
GMAT: aiming for 740-750 (got 710 first time I did a full diagnostic test in GMATprep)
University: USC
Major: Business
Military experience: yes, 1 year in Sweden. Squadleader, Sergeant rank.
Extracurriculars: about 7-8 hours a week probably.
Leadership positions: only informal positions of leadership, but isnt that what really counts?
Postgraduate work experience: 0
Hope to apply in round 1.
Will hire consultants to help me write essays and make me interesting.
Have had internships in managment consulting/insurance brokerage at Gallagher benefit services, and with the U.S. commercial service at the U.S. embassy in Stockholm. Have worked as an insurance broker for about 14 months, sold over $1,000,000 of insurance. Thereby I also have international work experience. Might also do an internship with at Swedish trade council in Warsaw or in Istanbull. Currently working as a high school substitute teacher, while studying. Also get paid to watch the neighbours dog.

It was pre-graduate, before I went to college. And it was military service, only consisting of military training and no active duty or service. 10 Months of training to be a radio link squad leader.
And marketing, I guess. Maybe even start my own law firm! So Harvard and Stanford is not unrealistic? Would be great to go to Harvard, the name is known all over the world..
