Hi! I am planning on applying to Stanford, HBS, UC Berkeley, & Booth. I take my GMAT in 8 days but I hope to make @ or near the 700+ mark. Please let me know if my profile will be competitive. Also, indicate if a higher GMAT Score would help in these schools

Career Goals:
-With my background in Computers and Finance, I would like to work in the VC industry or as an entrepreneur. That is the main reason that I am applying to B-school. My preference is San Francisco (as indicated by the Stanford/UCBerkeley choices) or the bay area. I want to attend B-school more for the connections, and, since I already have a JD, I do believe that, unless I get into a top 10 school, attending would not be in my best interests.

Anthony,
Apologies for the delayed reply. Your profile is a strong and distinctive one. The only potential weakness I see is whether there is leadership in the extracurricular involvements you listed--we would like to see leadership there. Given the strength of your app, you should aim high. Stanford and HBS are extremely selective, even for very strong applicants, so if you feel you can raise your GMAT score by 20-30 points or more I would recommend trying to do that. You should probably target more than 4 schools, but given your Bay Area goals, you might not want to?
Good luck,

Thanks! That is really encouraging. I can definitely work on llyremembering the leadership roles that I have played within my extracurricular activities. I am sure that I have plenty. As for the GMAT score, I am actually taking it tomorrow. I was only predicting around a 700. Hopefully, my score is much better.
Again, thank you. I will be looking for your books once my application drafting process begins.
