Hey Alex, thanks in advance for your help.
Age: 25
Education: 3.6 in Econ at a non HYP Ivy
GMAT: 720
Work experience: 3 years doing web analytics for an e-commerce company (not Amazon, but reasonably well known)
Extracurriculars: Mentoring/Job training for high school students, leadership in college fraternity, running and biking
Other: I am 1/2 minority, if that makes any difference
I'm interested in pursuing general management and I'm pretty strong quantitatively. I'm looking at schools like Booth, Sloan, Tuck, and maybe Columbia. I know that I'm reasonably competitive across the board but I'm not sure that I'll stand out - do you think applying to Harvard or Wharton would be worthwhile, or too much of a long shot? And if I execute well, will I have a decent shot at the other 4 schools?
Thanks!

You have a reasonable shot at the other schools (though no real safeties in that list). For HBS and Wharton, you have enough of a shot that they're at least worth applying to (yes, being an alum at an Ivy helps enough that you won't be a long shot).
