I hate to say it but this board (the B-School Application board specifically not the forums in general) really isnt the place to ask these questions. Its not a big deal right now because the board is kind of between seasons. A lot of the 08 applicants are going or gone and the 09 are just starting to arrive. However, if it is allowed to continue there will be dozens of these threads cluttering the board and they are only a real value to the original poster.
There are a few boards where professional admission consultants provide profile feedback. Including Paul Bodine (ask accepted) whose book 'Great Application Essays for Busines School' is along with Montauk's 'How To Get Into the Top MBA Programs' provide an amazing amount of info on applying to B-schools.

https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/124If you have access to the profile forum add **feedback requested** to your profile if you want feedback. Yes it takes some quality posts to get access to that but just consider that good motivation to frequent this place and contribute. This forum is what it is because of the users and if it fills up with
profile review requests it will be on its way to becoming BW.
--Praet, if you dont agree with this let me know and I will shut up and delete this thread. Opinions of others is welcome in this thread...I am not laying down the law, just stating my opinion on the matter.

The more interesting, compelling, or humorous you message the more likely I am to respond.
