Hi Alex,
I started researching full-time mba programs and I am looking into the following schools:
HBS
Wharton
MIT
University of Chicago (Booth)
Columbia
Yale
Duke
Based on my information below, do I have a shot at any of the above schools?
Age at matriculation: 26
Race: Asian (Korean) - born/lived in korea for 14 years
College: Top 10
Major: Economics/Psychology
GPA: 3.4/4.0
GMAT:750
WE: 4 years at matriculation
-business analyst at a large technology consulting firm - 2 yrs
-operations analyst at a large private equity firm - current position
extracurricular activities:
very weak here -
-during college: investment club shareholder, researched stocks to buy for club's fund/ presented in front of other group members. participated in school symphony for a year.
-post college: community event coordinator at my first job (planned volunteer events for co-workers), but nothing since May 2010 - long hours at my new job and I wanted to focus on learning. I could pick something up now, but would it look superficial/would it help at all?
I also played intramural soccer for 2 years post college, but currently not active.
Thanks!

You have a solid middle-of-the-road profile, which means:
Stretch: Booth, Columbia
Sweet spot: Yale, Duke, NYU, Cornell
Safety: any school outside the top 16
At this point, just focus on choosing a realistic range of schools (like I've outlined above), and do the best you can on the applications and interviews. That's what your focus should be if you're applying this year. Also, don't worry about extracurriculars if you don't have much now - *starting* a new activity and *achieving* something meaningful are very different things (the latter is something that takes years; there isn't "instant achievement" and if it is, it's likely not that significant, because what makes an achievement meaningful and significant is that it's very hard to do, and that it took a lot of sacrifice to do it).
