My profile:
I prefer to apply to MBA school for 2012. I would like to go to a top 30 university that is well known for finance and investment management. My ultimate goal is portfolio management (value investing).
27 / Male / American / Caucasian (I will be 29 at matriculation)
Languages: English
Undergrad: B.S in Finance and a minor in Information Technology, 2006
Top 40 regional state school
Cumulative GPA: 3.8/4.0
Advanced classes: I have taken advanced math classes, above the business school requirements (Calculus 1 & Calculus 2) and scored well in both.
Committees: Was on the executive board for an student investment committee at my undergrad school and directly managed money.
International Experience: Backpacked Europe for 1 month, Australia for 1 month, and Peru for 1 month. Have been to approximately 15 countries.
GMAT 1: 620, Q44, V31, 5.5
GMAT 2: 610, Q40, V34, 5.5
GMAT 3: 650, Q47, V34, 6.0
Work Experience:
2010-Present - Top 4 accounting firm performing business valuations.
2006-2010 - Middle-market financial consulting firm performing business valuations.
2009-Present - Started a value investing website.
2008-Present - Started and own a real estate investment company.
Summer 2005 - Project manager assistant internship for a large bank working on a large technology project
Previous: Network & IT Administrator for a small business in high school and part of college
Future:
Increase volunteer work
Target Schools: 2 year FT program or PT program
The schools I am thinking on applying to are:
[*]Vanderbilt University (Owen)
[*]Duke University (Fuqua)
[*]University of Michigan (Ross)
[*]Cornell University (Johnson)
[*]University of North Carolina (Kenan Flagler)
[*]University of Wisconsin (Madison)
Please let me know if my chances to these schools are reasonable. Even though my overall GMAT score is a little weak, I think with the high Quant score, high AWA score, high GPA and good work experience make up for it. Please let me know if I am off base on any of these. Thanks for the help in advance!

Columbia, Stern and LBS come to mind. If you're looking at IM (Value Investing), it is important to be either in New York or London. These guys are often very small and don't do structured recruitment. So, personal networking is the key and it helps if you're in a financial centre.
