I haven't done the GMAT yet - but I'll be aiming high (700+)
Am I a "no-hoper" - or am I win with a good shot if my application comes together nicely?
Happy Holidays! (It's already Christmas here - it's been Christmas for almost 11 hours :p)

Assuming your GMAT is 700+:
HBS -- still a stretch, but I'm sure you're going to apply anyways; just do your best, and treat it as a lottery ticket
INSEAD -- a stretch; INSEAD is big on international experience, and you're up against folks who have spent years working and living outside their home country; not impossible for you, but just know that it'll be a stretch
LBS - you should be competitive and in range, assuming your GMAT is 700+ (although LBS has gotten more competitive over the years; but since you're not a finance guy applying to LBS, you should be able able to stand out)
Oxford/Cambridge - you should be able to get in, even with a GMAT score in the high 600s.

Alex - you're a champion!
The "Honest-to-God" truth is that the USA is my last option - as I would prefer a 1-year program (I've already done 6.5years at university thru my BE and MEng) - so I probably won't even apply to Harvard.
I really have my heart set on the UK (the "Motherland" haha) - with Oxford being my dream (probably more because of the Oxford Brand-name than anything else). I will probably apply to the 3 UK institutes, and INSEAD for an outside "roughy".
Re: Your comment on being a "non-finance guy" @ LBS - should I leave out the fact that I started the CFA Certification on my application? There's nothing more "Finance" than the CFA...
Thanks again for taking the time to have a look at my profile and give me an honest opinion with some fantastic and useful feedback!
