Hi all, please help me to evaluate my profile as bellow for 2014 intake. Thank you so much!

• Company size: ~5000 employees worldwide, ~250 employees in Singapore
• Design circuits, well time-management, lead some projects, also serve technical support for customers.
• Minus point: internal customers, no idea how much profit my projects generated for the company (I know business schools like to ask this kind of questions, but generally engineers do not know this information)
EXTRA-CURRICULUM ACTIVITY:
• NUS Singapore student-fund president (~44 members, raise funds for needy students), Engineering club, Electrical Engineering club, and some other positions, awards.
• Minus point: no extra-curriculum activity since I started working (I use my free time to enroll Chinese classes)
OTHERS:
• Beside English, Vietnamese, I know Chinese (read & write well, ok with communication)
• Minus point: not excellent in writing essay & interview.
Please comment on my candidacy, as well as recommend business schools as categorized below.
• Stretch schools: 20-30% chance but it’s worth to give it a try
• Match schools: 50-60% chance
• Safe schools: probably I am able to get in
I’m interested in Kellogg (normal MBA or MMM) and MIT Sloan. Are these 2 schools stretch schools or match schools?
Thank you so much.
