Appreciate your efforts on this forum and kindly ask for a reality check.
26yrs old, white male.
GMAT: 1st 660 (44Q,38V); 2nd take 690 (46Q,38V)
GPA: 3.5 from Cornell University
Work Experience: 3+ years at boutique outsource human resources firm. First 2 years was as Human Resources Associate which was similar to an account manager role. Received a promotion to my current role as the Retirement Plan specialist where I administer a 401(k) multiple employer plan with over $140 million in assets (duties include plan design, compliance testing, coordinate plan mergers/spin-offs).
Extra Curriculars: Nothing too special here. I just started recently at a mentoring program as a mentor and am an alumni ambassador.
I would like to move into a consulting career, preferable strategic management. My list right now looks like:
NYU-Part time (applied)
Yale (plan to apply in round 1)
Cornell (plan to apply in round 1)
Columbia
Georgetown
Virginia
Are these schools realistic? Are there any programs that I should consider?

jtk25,
A 690 is hardly a bad score and your excellent GPA at a selective undergraduate school should reassure them if they have any doubts. You will also stand out to some extent because of your unusual HR-focused career. However, you weak extracurriculars and apparent lack of people leadership in your work hurt you, given that you are aiming relatively high:
NYU-Part time (applied): You are a semi-competitive candidate here
Yale (plan to apply in round 1): Probably more of a longshot than a competitive school for you (but doable if you execute well)
Cornell (plan to apply in round 1): Same as for Yale
Columbia: Not realistic IMO
Georgetown: You should be competitive here.
Virginia: Semi-longshot
Given your consulting goals, consider Duke, Emory, Babson, maybe UNC.
Hope this helps,
