Hello,
I will be applying this coming fall 08 and I was wondering if you could give me an assessment of my chances at the following schools;
Columbia (Early Decision), Kellogg, Chicago, MIT, Wharton, NYU, UCLA, Haas, Marshall
Profile:
Caucasian male (Armenian background) 25 years old when I start my applications.
Academics:
3.6 GPA, Cal State school, double major B.S in Electrical Engineering and B.S. Computer Engineering
3.8 GPA, USC M.S. Electrical Engineering
760 GMAT (48 Q, 47 V, 6.0 AWA)
Work:
4 yrs WE (by matriculation) at IBM working in designing cutting edge gaming microprocessor for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. I worked in a team-oriented environment under high stress deadlines. Through self-study, I become the local expert for several design tools. I also managed to disclose several technical patents.
Extracurriculars:
Volunteering 2 years as an IRS certified income tax assistant at VITA. We provided assistance to low-income, elderly, disabled and limited English speaking people.
Volunteered at local schools, promoting interest in Science and Engineering through several camps (EXCITE, IGNITE, etc.)
Goal:
I would like to go into either corporate strategy management (possibly returning back in Tech) or M&A. I know that Kellogg, and Wharton have sold management programs.
I would appreciate any insight. Am I aiming too high? Are there other schools you would suggest? Thanks again

rbabian,
Your numbers are very strong, but your tech background puts you in a very common pool and, more importantly, you don't appear to have strong leadership experiences. Your extracurriculars are decent, but again don't highlight leadership. For that reason, i would consider Columbia (Early Decision), Kellogg, Chicago, MIT, Wharton, NYU, UCLA, and Haas to be longshots. Of those, I think your odds would be best at Chicago, MIT, NYU, and UCLA. You should have no problem at all at USC. Given your goals, consider Virginia, Duke, Michigan, Georgetown, Indiana, and Yale. You could also wait a year and try to beef up the leadership profile, since you're still young. Hope this helps.
