Hi There - Looking for some input on my application:
I'm currently an implementation consultant for a small financial software company (since Jan). Previously an analyst for a large consulting firm (2.5 years), but left to gain better exposure to business management at a smaller company. I was a supervisor/team lead at previous firm, but now I report directly to the VP along with the other consultants at our small company.
GMAT: 770 (Q50, V46, IR8, AWA 6.0)
3.8 GPA from top public university with a strong business program - business major
Extra-Curriculars: Aerial Acrobatics - Train vigorously and will be partnering with local circus program to teach at-risk youth circus arts. Also avid outdoorswoman (hike, ski, climb)
No industry certifications. Enrolled in Social Circus Instructor program. Held 2 different VP positions with Delta Sigma Pi while in school.
Dream School: Stanford GSB; considering HBS, Haas, Anderson, and Foster for geography and social innovation programs.
Applying R1 2015-16
Post-MBA Ambitions: Career in social entrepreneurship/innovation. Perhaps work immediately for a larger company to improve social outreach then aim to start my own business. Interest stems from CSR course taken while studying abroad in Denmark and from Indian Immersion program with a focus on microfinance initiatives.
I'm American, Female, living in the PNW. I will be 26 upon matriculation. I would love any advice or thoughts for how to shape my application!

Hey there!
So off the bat things look really nice - American, Female, in Finance with a stellar GMAT! and a fantastic GPA!
A super solid beginning if I ever saw one.
More than that it's hard for me to say because I do lack a bit more detail (university, extra currics, volunteer work), but if all of that is at least good, then you should be fine applying to Top 10 schools.
Right now the one thing in your profile that still needs to be further thought out is your goals - Social Entrepreneurship how? What sort of innovation? If I were to ask you: what company you will work with and in what position immediately after you graduate, what would you say? And then five years later? Ten? I (and the Adcoms) will need some far more concrete than "I want to work in Social entrepreneurship", so even if you are at this point not 100% sure of exactly what you want to do, try and imagine something that would work for you - it will help you choose the right schools too.
Although I think all Top programs could move you along on your career, in addition to the schools you listed Yale and Tuck might be good options.
If you have any other questions, or would like to add more info, feel free...
Best,
Jon
