GMAT Score: 700 (45Q 41V)
I am currently finishing my undergrad at Boston College (majoring in Finance and Economics with a 3.7 GPA), and am going to be starting as an analyst in Transaction Services with a major bank (I don't plan on applying to schools for at least another 3 years).
I have a host of extra curriculars under my belt including case competitions and financial services related internships in Asia and the United States. I can also speak 3 languages.
A few questions:
1) Is the 71% 92% split an issue? For some reason, I can't get over the 70% range in my practice tests despite doing very well in finance at BC (I've taken a fixed income class, and have had no problems in any of my finance classes).
2) Realistically, what schools can I/should I apply to? I have an interest in Finance, and would like to pursue it in more depth.
I understand that it might be too early to ask these questions, but I just want to get a feel for where I stand at this stage.
Thanks!

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert at all, but I've been reading this forum for a while so here's what I think:
You have a really good base for building a great MBA application. Right now there is nothing holding you back from applying to top schools in a few years. However, you will have to maintain your upward momentum. You should focus on promotions, demonstrating leadership, cultivating relationships which could lead to good recommendations and continuing to be involved in the community. Depending on how well those factors develop will help decide if you end up at an Ultra Elite school or "just" an Elite School.

Thanks. I've worked as a teacher before for a non profit in high school. I might consider doing that again on the side during weekends once I start working (I'd really like to do some financial advisory for non profits, but I don't know to what extent that's possible). Is my GMAT split something I should be considered about?
