Curious about my chances with the profile below. I’ll be retaking the GMAT in two weeks (hoping to break 700). I'm also trying to decide which of my targets (Booth, Kellogg, Haas, Sloan, LBS, Columbia, Anderson) would be worth applying to in Round 1 (if I score above 700 on my next GMAT) if I only had time to apply to one or two. Thanks.
Background:
White Male, 30 years old
GMAT: 680 (47Q, 36V), planning to retake in 2 weeks
Education: Johns Hopkins University, Economics major, Entrepreneurship and Business Management minor, 3.2 GPA (progression from 2.8 freshman year to 3.4 senior year, made dean’s list). GPA is pretty weak for the school I'm applying to, I know. Played Varsity Water Polo all four years (Division III National Champions 2 out of 4 years).
Work Experience: 5 years at large asset manager (>$700B in AUM). Started in 2 year rotational program (4 month rotations), was asked to stay on for a second rotation in the same group that I started in (equity department), then was offered a full time position with the group (Portfolio Analyst), was promoted to Research Associate after 2 years. Moved to BB Swiss Investment Bank (Research Associate in Equity Research department) to transition sectors (now covering Software) and get more experience on the IPO due diligence process, been here over 2 years. Passed level 2 of the CFA.
Extracurricular: Work long hours so extracurricular activities are in the office. Includes mentoring in a Mentorship Program for junior employees, group leader of committee tasked with implementing ideas to improve Associate development at the firm, various volunteer events.
Post MBA: Want to work for a Software/Technology company in a Finance/Strategy capacity
Happy to provide any more color.

I think I would focus on the European schools and around 1 because the GMAT is lower but the average age and work experience is higher. Your profile is rather common, white male Banker, so unfortunately there's not a lot you can do from the perspective of diversity.
Unless there's something in your background that would really contribute a lot to the classroom.
So you leave the kind of play by the rules with regards to the GMAT averages and I wouldn't advise that you apply to the schools mentioned unless your GMAT is at or above the average. You might be able to get away with the average even though overrepresented if you submit a great application. seems as though you're lacking community involvement and international work experience at this point. I would put a lot of emphasis on articulating your brand and the contribution you'll be making to each program, really thinking through the fit factor.

Thank you for the input. Where do you think my GMAT score would need to be to provide me with a better chance. Is it worth waiting for round 2 in order to bring my score up?
