Have you narrowed down your list of b-schools at all? You should look at schools in the top 25 range but narrow them down based upon location and "fit". You have provided very limited information however your profile looks solid based upon the info you wrote. Your challenge will be to create essays that really show who you are as an individual, a clearly articulated career plan, and also what you can contribute to an MBA class. You want to be well-rounded and focused. Admission committees look at more than simply raw data when making decisions on who to admit. Best of luck!

I wish there was a scientific way to let you know exactly what your chances are but unfortunately there is not. Your profile looks good and I believe you have done a good job categorizing your "stretch" and "safety" schools. If you apply to several schools, do not fall into the trap of simply duplicating your essays for each program. Admission committees notice when you have not given their program your full attention and it is not looked upon favorably. Therefore, I recommend that you identify the strengths of each program (as they pertain to your career progression), clubs/activities that interest you, and also key recruiting relationships so that you can discuss them in your essays and interviews. Also, look at the career placement track records of the programs to make sure that they can get you where you need to go upon graduation. Best of luck!

Apply to Wharton and any other school that you are really serious about in R1. This shows Adcom that the school is at the top of your list and that you have made it a priority to get the app in asap.
