Hi big4mba:
At a high-level, your profile is certainly worthy of Berkeley, Tuck and Duke.
However, the MBA is a forward looking degree. As such, I have very little insight into your future goals - professional or personal.
I do know that admissions committees do look favorably upon the LDS missionary service. Not that you would, but do not water down the religious nature of your experience – because it is something you feel passionate about. That needs to come across.well it may not be immediately relevant to your short-term goal, the type of commitment and passion you display will be absolutely relevant to your longer-term goals – whatever they may be.
The only other issue that I see possibly affecting your candidacy – especially at a school like Wharton – would be your GMAT score. I can advise taking it again at this point, but should you not get accepted to your top choice you have to reapply, I recommend taking it again of course.
Please give me a little more detail about your goals and I can advise on the appropriateness of your school choices.
Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti

Paul,
I very much appreciate such a thoughtful response and advice. As far as career goals, they are to work for one of the top management consulting firms and then branch out into entrepreneurial ventures. That is where my true passion lies but I am interested in gaining the learning available in management consulting. In addition, I am passionate about using the MBA and management skills to be a leader in charitable organizations.
I am currently trying to narrow down a list of four schools to two. The four are Stanford, Wharton, Berkeley and Tuck. I feel like I would be ecstatic to attend any of these schools but want to make sure I am choosing schools that meet my interests and goals as well as having a realistic shot to get in. Any insight you could give on this would be very greatly appreciated.
