Scott or Omari, I have realized that getting in another application in before the round 2 deadline is not possible. Especially since the holidays are right around the corner. I would like your opinion on whether I should apply in round 3. Am I throwing my money away? Schools I would still like to apply are Stanford and/or Duke. I know these are highly selective schools so your honest opinion would be greatly appreciated. My profile is below.

My profile:
Age: 29 - Married with 1 child on the way
Undergrad GPA: 3.82 - B.S. Economics (Weber State University)
GMAT: 710 (Q: 45 V: 41)
Areas of Focus: Mgmt. and Finance
Professional Work Exp.:
-2 years management for non-profit organization in southwest U.K.
-3 years financial manager 10th Air Base Wing (USAF) - budget >$100 million
Part-Time Work Experience
-Teaching Assistant - WSU MBA Quantitative Methods Class
-Research Analyst - U.K. Parliament
Academic/Professional Accomplishments:
-FBLA national economics competition - 1st place out of more than 100 contestants

-Hansard Scholar (national award), Wall Street Fellowship Scholar (WSU award)
-Employee of the Quarter - selected from more than 400 other employees

I know this is limited information to base your judgment on, but I am interested in your opinion because your insight so far in my application process has been invaluable.

Thanks

Honestly, I do think that this is throwing money away, not because of your profile, but just because of the odds. If you were applying to lower-ranked schools, it might be different. But you're talking about the most selective (statistically) school in the country, and another one that's not too far behind. You may stand a chance with Fuqua, but Stanford would probably be a long shot.

I don't mean to sound discouraging!
