I was hoping you could provide some insight on my profile. I would like to get an idea of what schools I should consider applying to. Schools on my shortlist are: UCLA, McCombs, Duke, Foster, Owen. This is a very fluid list and willing so add/delete based on recs.

25 year old White Male
BBA Finance and Management from a probably not well known state uni: 4.0 GPA
GMAT: 650 (Q 44, V36)
WE : Will have 4 years at Merrill Lynch as a financial advisor and analyst for two Global Institutional Consulting teams
Community : Serve on the Board of Directors for three organizations: Big Brothers Big Sisters of NM, BBBS Foundation, and the 20-30 Club (a childrens charity non-profit).
Post MBA goals - Transition to work in either marketing or consulting, haven't decided exactly what yet (but I will by applications).

Thank you!

Well dude,
Overall your profile form what I can see seems awesome. Im missing a lot of detail on what you have done which can help me evaluate you, but okay.

My one real piece of advice: retake the GMAT! It's your biggest weakness. And it's the easiest thing to overcome. Honestly, even if it take you one whole year to do it, the level of school you can apply to will jump. And colossally so. I mean if you hit a 720 I could see you applying to Top 5-10 programs, no problem. and think it might be worth it :)

Best,
JF
