Hello,
Just starting to research some schools and I am curious if anyone can give me some insight into what my expectations should be during the application process. Basically, I want to know what level school I can get into, meaning top tier, top 10, top 5, etc. I know a lot more goes into choosing schools, but I really just want to have a point of reference from which to determine "reach" schools and "safety schools". Below is my brief profile, any help would be greatly appreciated:
Male, Age 28
White
GMAT: 710 (45 Verbal - 98% / 43 Quant - 65%)
Undergrad GPA: 3.6 from a NESCAC school
Job Experience: 1 year paralegal, 5 years investment management (wealth management) with top wall street firm. I am hoping the finance experience will help prop up the low quant score. I also just took Level 1 CFA so if I pass it that might help a bit too.
Volunteer work: None really, I have always been really busy with work
Extracurricular activities: Hockey, going to the gym (I know these are not particuarly scholarly endeavors, but they keep me sane in and in shape).
Lets assume I can write pretty good essays, since I am really going to focus on doing so over the summer. I am probably going to apply to 4-5 schools Round 1.
So, what does everyone think? I know its somewhat limited information, but a general idea would be nice. Thank you for any help.

I say top 15 because there's really no "for sure" admissions nowaday with top 10. But you should have a good chance with top 15, with evenly distributed range of schools (i.e. Wharton, Columbia, Duke).

artkin76,
Your lack of extracurriculars and the general 'normal-ness' of your profile will make it tough for you to stand out, which is a big part of the process. Of course, there is probably more to you than your post, but I would say schools like Duke, Darden, Cornell might be your targets.
Hope this helps,
