1. From SF Bay Area, white male, will be 27 this fall. Been working 4 years at a very small environmental data services company primarily doing geospatial data acquisition, processing, and analysis, but I've had a variety of other projects due to the small size of company.
2. 750. Q49, V42, 5.5, 8
3. 2.99 GPA @ UC Berkeley in Environmental Engineering. GPA is low because I was pretty lazy as an undergraduate.
4. In college, mild participation with snowboard team, no other extra curriculars (see: lazy). Since college I've had a few interesting hobbies for various periods of time (co-directing an electronic music event crew, organizing a Burning Man camp, DJing). Most recently (aug 2012) I co-founded a website as a side project for fun/professional development (I'm technically "CEO" of the 3 person team).
5. No certifications
6. Stanford, Haas, Johnson (I have 2 generations of non-Johnson legacy @ Cornell), Stern, Andersen, McCombs, and Marshall
7. Last round for all of them.
8. Goal is to get into management consulting to develop real world experience for an eventual shift back into tech entrepreneurship.
Basically I was working extensively on the website in the fall and I didn't get the MBA ball rolling until late december. I took the gmat in early feb and did well so I decided I might as well give this last round a shot. I've already applied to everything, so now I'm just playing the waiting game, wondering what my chances are and how much different they might be during a fall reapplication. I'd love a review, thanks!

Thanks for your post.
Your chances at Stanford and Haas are poor. You have a decent chance at Cornell, McCombs, and Marshall. You also have a smaller shot at Anderson and Stern, but it's R3. Your chances would improve significantly at all the programs except Haas and Stanford if you apply R1. Those will remain a stretch even R1.
Hopefully you can soon tell me I'm wrong.
Best,
Linda
