Strategery,
Even given your youth, you should have a decent chance at UNC and Texas, because your GMAT is so strong, you have two years of work experience (though it makes a difference whether it was full- or part-time), and have some interestinge extracurriculars. You're in at TCU. UCLA will be a longshot situation. Ideally, you would wait a year or two so you can polish your already promising profile and perhaps aim even higher. In other words, your only negative is your age. Many programs just really prefer folks with two to three years of post-college work experience.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Paul. The work experience is full-time. I figure I'll continue with the process this year but be aware that I may have to wait a year or so.
Also, I should mention that I finished my undergrad in three years. Does that help at all? I was planning on using that as evidence of drive/goal-orientation.
How should I position my essays to best negate the work experience disadvantage? My plan is to get into consulting, and without an MBA, that would be difficult. As such, I don't see much benefit to continue working in an unrelated field.
Last question, would Darden be more attainable than UCLA?
