MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hello,
I am looking to apply in Fall 2011 and was hoping you fine folks could give me a little profile review.
My stats:
25 at matriculation with 32 months of full time WE (government mgmt consulting)
700 GMAT (95% V, 67% Q)
3.3 cumulative GPA (Econ major) from private Top 20 (I think my final 2 years was around 3.2ish)
Didn't get involved with anything during my undergrad unfortunately, but I picked up the slack post-graduation by volunteering to do some college career counseling, volunteering at the Make A Wish Foundation, and I hold a couple of chair positions on my local alumni board
I have good reviews from my employers will be able to get solid recs from them as well.
I'm an entrepreneur at heart and would like to get into i-banking post-MBA in order to gain some transactional experience and then I'd like to buy a company (most likely healthcare related, which is a field I'm pretty interested in).
A little bit more about myself...I've lived on three different continents and worked for a summer in Abu Dhabi for a PE firm. Will being "cultured" (for lack of a better word) help potentially?
My list of possible schools includes the following:
Yale
Columbia
Kellogg
Ross
Darden
McCombs
Owen
Fuqua
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

You're in range for the schools you listed - a good mix of stretches, sweet spots, and safeties:
Stretch - Columbia, Kellogg
Sweet spot - Yale, Ross, Darden, Fuqua
Safety - McCombs, Owen
I'd narrow down the schools, as it becomes a bit unwieldy after 6 schools. You probably don't need to apply to Owen, and you can either take out one of your sweet spots or stretches. In my view, you can probably take out one of your sweet spots, so you're left with 2 stretches, 3 sweet spots, and 1 safety. With that mix, you should have a pretty good shot of getting into a school of your choice (or maybe have multiple choices to choose from) .
A lot of it comes down to how well you execute the applications -- your profile is in range for these mix of schools, and so all you can do from here on in is:
(1) Wait until the applications are out in the summer (May/June), and
(2) Visit maybe 2-3 schools that are convenient for you to get a feel for what b-school is all about while classes are in session (visit before May, and ideally before April).
