Hi,
I was hoping to get a evaluation of my MBA application profile. Please find some of my information below:
I was hoping to see how my profile would be viewed by schools such as Columbia, Berkeley, and UCLA. I'm also debating applying to schools such as Wharton, Harvard, Chicago or Kellogg. If possible, could you please share your insights on my profile with regards to these specific schools? Thanks in advance!

Congrats for ur score
Ur profile seems to be competative enough for the top B-Schools.
Ur scores and background are competitive,
Now Ur essays got to be outstanding. U need to illustrate the quality of ur work exp, responsibilities u had taken, ur achievements, why u wanted to do MBA from that particular B-School
Moreover if u are clear on how ur background and experience can contribute to the class u may hav better chance.
I dont think Ur Visual disability will not reduce ur chances to get in. But good that u addressed that in the optional essay.
Ur score is superb, but for most of the ivy-schools, GMAT is just a parameter and 700+ score is just a score that wont reduce ur chances to get in just because of low GMAT.
U need to work on the other criterias... Main is Essays
Wish u all the very best
