Just did the GMAT today and got 760: IR 8 Q49 V44
I don't think I fit the normal b-school applicant: I studied Classics (Ancient Greek and Latin) at Cambridge and got a 2:1 (Not sure how that would translate into GPA). Then I worked for 18 months as a business analyst for the UK branch of an American bank and then was poached by a former college to work at a rival (should I say that on application? I think it says good things about me but it's kinda trivial) for whom I've worked since (18 months but was promoted 10 months in).
I really want to go to California as from miserable wet and cold England it seems like Heaven. What do people reckon the best school I could get into is? Stanford? Berkeley or UCLA? My family all want me to try for Harvard as it's the only AmericanWho would give business school people over here have heard of, does my situation seem reasonable?
I don't have a lot of extra curricular on my books, I've done some stuff like tutor maths and Latin and volunteer at homeless shelters but it seems a bit shabby compared to other people's start ups etc.
Can anyone recommend a consultant? Are they super expensive, so far this process has cost $300 for the exam and I think applications to each individual school are also pretty pricey. (although I suppose if the consultant gets me in then that should pay for it self)
Thanks,

I won't comment on the consultant side since I am one, but Veritas is here to help if there is interest on your end. But you certainly will and can be competitive with your profile. I would say your profile is not as unusual as you may think and with a strong academic pedigree, elite GMAT score and seemingly positive work experience you can compete at many top programs. Stanford and HBS are outliers for all but your profile would warrant real consideration from both programs, and the other top california based programs would fall into the strong fit category for you. Focus on what you want to get out of your ideal program and curate your target list that way and this should help you settle on which program makes sense for you

Thanks for the response Dozie, I thought a Humanities background was a bit left field and I certainly haven't seen anyone on these boards who did Latin or Greek (but I can't claim to have read each profile exhaustively). The bank is a credit card monoline in the UK (as it started in the US, Capital One) so probably less respected than IB or the like...From your reply it sounds like the lack of solid extra curricular doesn't put the Kibosh on things. What kind of Consulting does Veritas do? I could well be interested.
I think your point about what I want out of the program is probably the hardest one for me to answer. I think I could concoct a decent story about working in analytical marketing and wanting to broaden my skill set in order to work in consulting with an eye to moving into the automation industry in 5 or so years when machine learning has rendered much of the workforce replaceable with a SaaS but the truth is I don;t know, I want to work somewhere with lofty ideals, autonomy and power but that vague truth would no doubt get me canned as wishy washy beatnik... I think I'm in a good place but career-wise I'm directionless
edit: I'm also concerned that being 25 with 3 years work experience would negatively impact me
