I would really value your advise on the following two points:
1) Do I have a chance of getting admitted in a top 5 (Harvard, Stanford, MIT Sloan, Chicago, Kellogg)? If so, what are the things I can do to make my application stronger?
2) What are the other universities that I can look at, given my ambitions?
Thanks again!
