Hi Paul,
I've been driving myself crazy on my apps, and I would really appreciate a sanity check evaluation. I'm desperately trying to break into a competitive area of finance. Are UNC and Boston College out of my league? Again, any recommendations or advice you could provide are greatly appreciated.
Personal Info:
Age: 29
Home: Southeastern US
Education:
GPA: 3.6 (frankly, from school more famous for partying than for studying)
GMAT: 740 (48Q, 44V)
Degrees: BS in Math and Comp Sci
Worthy of note: It took longer than it should have to complete undergrad.
Professional:
Work Ex: 3.5 yrs. currently
Function: Software Engineer
Since graduating, I've managed to pull of a somewhat impressive, albeit short career. Very limited leadership opportunities, but plenty of accolades and some significant contributions. Discernable increases in technical but not managerial responsibilities.
Additional info:
Some community work, but nothing compared to some of the profiles I see posted here. No interesting hobbies.

Publius,
From the info you gave me, you are definitely not out of UNC or Boston College's league. You could also look at Duke, Rochester, Ohio State, Cornell, Indiana, and CMU. Your GMAT compensates for many undergrad weaknesses. Your main effort should be showing leadership in and outside of work in your essays and explaining why the career switch (showing that you've done your due diligence). You may want to read the transcript from Accepted.com's Finance Recruiters' chatlast year.
Good luck,
