Hi!
I was planning on applying to a number of schools Round 2. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. One of my recommendors flaked out at the last minute, my backup recommendor could only write two, and then my main recommendor went into back surgery. My backup-backup recommendor's mother died. Also, my flash drive with my essays snapped in half over New Years Eve. It was a complete mess.
I'm regrouping. Kelley has an Round 3 out of 4 in March, which looks good. They also have a Business Analytics program, which is exactly what I'm looking for. But I want to know about some other schools. I know Round 3 is hard, but I think that I might be unique enough to do it.
I'm worried about getting too old for programs, and my company just REVOKED offering benefits for same-sex spouses, so I'm about ready to go.
Age: 29
Sex: M
Ethnicity: White
Nationality: American
GPA: 3.2 at Columbia U., English, 3.8 at CUNY, Master of Library Science. Post-bac coursework in Statistics & Accounting (4.0)
GMAT: 750, 6AWA
Professional Experience - Librarian, started off in public libraries, now run a library for a military research laboratory. Supervise 5 employees, manage $1.5 budget.
Extracurriculars - undergrad - Writer for newspaper, Secretary & Event Planning for coeducational Greek literary society
post-undergrad - Play on a Gay Ice Hockey Team
Post MBA Goal - I want to get into competitive intelligence, which is researching competitors and market trends to determine strategy and marketing. an MBA program can set me up with analytical skills I need (data mining, financial analysis), as well as a position in Brand Management, where I can learn about consumer good industries before going into a pure intelligence-gathering and analysis position.
Round 3 - Chicago, Kellogg, NYU
Round 3/4 - Kelley
I should note, I already completed 90% of the Chicago Application, and about 60% of the Kellogg application (and submitted the application fee with part 1!)
What do you think? Think I got a chance? Any tips?

Yes, I do think you have a chance. A lot will depend on the applications and yield of the previous rounds but it is worth a try. I highly recommend applying to the Kelley program for Round 3 and not Round 4 if you can since it seems like such a great fit with your goals. My specialty is helping you tell your story quickly to submit on time, so feel free to contact me off-forum to hear more about how I can help you.
