Hi Alex,
I'd like an idea of whether I've got a good shot at my target schools and where else I might consider applying.
Age: ~25
Sex: Male
Ethnicity: White
Undergrad GPA: 3.3/4.0
Undergrad Degree: BA Economics
Undergrad School: [redacted]
Undergrad story: Mitigating factors for GPA
Work experience: Two (will be three) years of experience in management consulting at a large management & IT consultancy. Expected promotion to Consultant prior to application. Managed teams and projects (unusual for level of experience). Outstanding performance reviews from supervisors and clients. Expect to have letters of recommendation from current supervisor & current client.
GMAT: Initial practice tested at a 700, currently studying for test, expect to score 740-760
Extracurriculars: Standard random volunteer events here and there, but nothing exciting
Career goals: Strategy consulting or marketing product management
I assume I don't have a shot at H/S/W.
I'd really love to go to Kellogg or Booth so those are pretty much my target schools.
Do I have a good shot getting in there? Where else would you recommend applying given my goals? I'm thinking Sloan, Columbia, Ross?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think schools like Booth, Kellogg, Sloan, Columbia and Tuck are in range assuming your GMAT is in range (700+) - choose 3-4 from this list. They're slight stretches (there's enough people out there with stronger resumes than you applying to these schools), but with a bit of luck you have a shot that it's worth at least applying. Schools like Michigan, Darden, etc. are places where you'll have a reasonable shot of getting in.
