Profile:
Age and Nationality: 27, Indian --- but I've been living in the U.S. since I was 4 and have all American education and job experience...
Sex: Male
Undergraduate School: NYU College of Arts and Science, graduated May 2008. There have been no gaps in work experience.
Undergrad Major: Economics, minor in Business
GPA: 3.4 / 4
Work Experience: Interned for two years at premier bank wall street doing private banking during undergrad. Worked for two years at a premier wall street bank under a financial adviser in wealth management. Most recent job is at a mid-sized premier investment consulting firm as a hedge fund analyst - producing performance reports and hedge fund research reports for internal and external stakeholders.
GMAT: 690 first test, 710 second test...71st percentile math and 90th percentile verbal...90th percentile in writing AWA and 65th percentile in IR.
Certifications: I had passed the series 7 and series 66 at my first full-time job though these licenses are no longer valid...I don't know if that means anything.
Strengths: I have worked for three firms whose names carry weight. My internship and my first job were finance jobs in NYC which I think would carry some weight. The brand behind my education and job experience is strong.
Weaknesses: I don't have an internal job promotion at any of my jobs, however between jobs there is a clear step up in role and responsibility. Also, I don't have much in the realm of outside extracurriculars since college: I volunteered at a nursing home for two months, I donated blood once, I volunteered at a homeless shelter once. I have a personal blog on philosophy and spirituality since February. I also don't have much leadership experience but I have tons of working-in-a-team experience at my jobs.
Short-term and long-term goals: I am still working out the details of my long-term and short-term plans. My dad had cancer for 10 years. My mom has worked in science her whole life. I want to take my finance knowledge and find a way to apply it to the healthcare industry. I also want to use my MBA to learn about business and finance specific to the healthcare industry. In the short-term I'd like to do healthcare consulting. I'd like this to lead me to become the CFO of a hospital in the long-term.
These are the schools I am currently thinking of applying to: UC Berkeley, UCLA, McCombs, UNC Kenan-Flager, Duke Fuqua, and Georgetown. What do you think?

Haas is a big stretch. UCLA and duke are more possible. You have a competitive profile for UT and UNC. You may also want to consider Johns Hopkins and Rutgers.
Best,

Thank you for the evaluation Linda. Do you believe I should be looking at Johns Hopkins and Rutgers as safety schools? Both are ranked outside the top 50 - which is a bit confusing because you say UT and UNC are realistic possibilities and both are ranked 15-20 (per US News 2012). Would Georgetown and a school like Washington-Foster not suffice for safety schools...schools ranked 20-40?
If you believe I should be looking at these schools for another reason, I'd be curious as to why.
I'd also be curious as to what you think the biggest weaknesses in my profile are.
Thank you for your insight.
