Great profile minus the age.

The startup thing will be an advantage to you in the essays.

I would suggest retaking the GMAT. Obviously standardized tests are not your forte.

Solid profile.

Don't call it a gap - failed startup is a great story. I think you have a shot at the schools you are applying to.

Are you on the east coast by any chance? I am working on a startup right now and we are hiring a few more developers. If you are still interested in pursuing entrepreneurship, send me a PM.

You do have a solid profile. Why did Wharton ding you?

Why not Chicago if you want to get into finance?
This was a typo. Chicago is my 1b choice actually.
