Hi Alex,
Would you please evaluate my profile? I'm a 27 year old female with an average GMAT score. Standardized tests has rarely been my strong suit. I'd prefer not to take the GMATs again since I already took it twice before with no GMAT prep course and thus the lower scores for the first two tries.
GMAT: 660 (third time) - 47 (M) and 35 (V); AWA 5.5
My 5 year work experience includes 1 1/2 years in benefits consulting and 3 1/2 in corporate deferred compensation (HR) at a financial services company
Undergrad:
Graduated in 3 1/2 years with double major in Economics and Mathematics/Statistics
3.35 GPA at state school
Extracurriculars include:
Directing an ESL program that I hope to establish as a nonprofit
Served as a volunteer leader for a non-profit youth organization for 2 years
Want to get an MBA for career change into working with non-profit organizations (consulting non-profits)
Considered applying to:
USC
UC Berkeley
NYU
Columbia
Duke
How are my chances at the schools I've listed? Or do you recommend other schools that would be a good fit for nonprofit concentration and consulting nonprofits? Any insight would be helpful!
Thanks!

Yale is probably the most obvious one to target if you're looking into nonprofit/social enterprise, as it's got the most renowned rep for that.
Columbia -- you have an outside shot if you apply in their Early Decision round *and* you encounter a bit of good luck (assuming your essays, rec letters, interview, etc are stellar).
Berkeley, NYU, Duke -- you're in the mix; with a stellar app you should be competitive, although again the big obstacle is your GMAT
USC -- you have a reasonable shot of getting in
The GMAT is what's limiting you. You're just a smidgen below a lot of these school's middle 80% (which seems to creep up over time -- my hunch is that this upcoming year it's going to be 680-740 for most if not all the top 16 schools). Even with a 680 it can make a difference in your case.
If you can't bump up that GMAT, then all you can do is apply to these schools (I think you have enough of a shot that you should at least give them your best shot even with your current score), and just hope that there's enough luck on your side.

Thanks, Alex. I was hoping for that extra 20 points too. Hope luck is on my side.
Does the same scenario apply for me with Kellogg? I saw that it's also in the rankings for nonprofit.
