Proven career development from an internship to coordinating a team of 4.

Hello, Guillermo,
To answer your questions:
1. I believe Harvard will be a very high reach, possibly unrealistic. The others would be reasonable reaches of varying degrees of competitiveness, but you would be a viable candidate all (with great applications).
2. Other schools to consider would be MIT Sloan, NYU, and Tuck (reasonable reaches); Darden, Duke and UCLA (on-pars).
3. Not sure what you mean about “focus more on.” To enhance your profile, continuing a track record of leadership and impact at work (and indeed outside work) and further research your goals to discuss this aspect with clear knowledge about the consulting industry and career path. Also review my online tutorial[url][/url] about portraying goals in MBA applications!

Cindy, Thanks a lot for your valuable advice !
I agree with your opinion about my chances related to Harvard. Likewise, as my research advances I don´t consider as a proper fit to me.
I will consider your proposals and also focus on my post mba goals,
