My father has a mid-sized, education-focused technology company in Bangkok, Thailand. The company recently suffered its first quarterly loss in 11 years. Post MBA I will go back to Thailand to help revive the family business.

A friend of ours had Guillain-Barre. He was initially paralyzed from the shoulders down. It's a serious illness. I hope you've gotten full function back.
You certainly have a shot at all your target programs, but CBS, Haas, Kellogg, Sloan, and Stern are stretch programs. You have a competitive profile for Duke. You may want to consider Yale and Cornell.
Best,
Linda
