Hey Alex,
I'm looking at applying for admission in Fall of 2012 and would like to get an idea of what tier of business schools I should be shooting for.
GMAT: 720 (Q44, V46)
Work Experience: 2 Years as a Registered Associate at UBS
2 Years as a Portfolio Administrator for Independent Private Wealth Manager
Series 7 License, CFA Level 1 Candidate (Taking the test in Dec)
Undergrad Degree: BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Big Ten School (3.42 GPA)
Various Service Projects, Special Events Coordinator for Engineering Honors Fraternity
Are there things I should be focused on over the next 6 months to improve my admissions profile?
Thanks,
Jay

For what you can do in the next few months, read this: what-can-i-do-to-improve-my-chances-108676.html
In short, you're a middle-of-the-road, solid all-round candidate, which means:
Stretch: Booth, Columbia, Sloan, Kellogg, Tuck -- you'll be a stretch at these schools because you'll be up against so many other finance guys; not a huge stretch, but enough of one that you'll need some luck on your side and where you'll need to apply to a few sweet spot schools (see below) if you really want to play the odds
Sweet Spot: NYU, Haas, Duke, Darden, Michigan, Cornell, Yale, UCLA
Safety: any school outside the top 16
Which 5-6 schools you choose to apply to is more a matter of personal preference.
