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

-Started a Company called, "Denim Addiction" where I sold designer jeans purchased overstock from Bloomingdales to soroity girls. Grew this company to over 4 employees, 2 cities, and $400k revenue in it's third year until my supplier cut me off.
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.
Community/Extracurricular:
-Young Professionals Association
-Young Democrat
-Arkansas Bar Association
-Play Guitar & inter mural sports
