Paul,
Can you please analyze my profile and provide feedback regarding which schools I should target, stretch for, and use as safeties? Thanks!
Personal:
Age: 26 now (28 at matriculation in 2010)
Ethnicity / Gender: White / Male
Nationality: USA
Academics:
Undergraduate Institution: Univ. or Maryland-College Park
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Undergraduate GPA: 3.8
Final 2 year GPA: 4.0
Honors: Dean’s list every semester but one. Graduated “with honors.”
Study Abroad: American University of Rome, Italy
GMAT: 740 (48Q, 42V, 5.5 AWA).....took GMAT once
Work Experience:
Major Chemical Conglomerate Engineering Rotational Program
First Assignment: Site Project Engineer / Project Team Leader
My role: Developed, executed, and managed $6.6 million worth of capital projects. Completed project front-end-loading, economic justifications, and procurement planning. Led engineering, construction, sourcing, and permitting efforts. Employed third-party firms for some of these tasks and managed their service contracts. Served as the process owner for the site’s boiler house facility. Led the prepatory efforts for a second-party safety audit and functioned as the site’s process safety “Training and Performance Champion.”
Note: Six Sigma Green Belt Certified
Length of employment: 26 months
Reason for leaving: Assignment completed.
Second/Current Assignment: Application Engineer (different business unit)
My role: Member of the Kalrez® commercial team reporting to the Americas Business Manager. Currently supporting $30 million worth of semiconductor, chemical, and oil filed customers. Responsibilities include: expanding market share; providing customer focused technical support; and being a product line expert. Developed and presented technical and marketing seminars. Participated in our business strategy renewal effort as a member of the technology development team (this is where I realized I wanted to be a consultant). Goal of this assignment was to gain commercial experience and build my customer facing skills. 50% travel.
Length of employment to date: 36 months (at matriculation)
Extra Curricular Activities:
College:
Fraternity Vice President, Executive Advisory Committee, and Philanthropy Chair. Raised 8,000 lbs of food for the North American Food Drive. Part of a team that raised $25k for the Ronald McDonald House.
Worked part-time (15 hours per week).
Post-College:
Raritan’s Introducing Minorities to Engineering (2005-2007): Mentored underprivileged minorities and exposed them to engineering career paths. Organized and conducted public speaking seminars and technical competitions.
Explore Engineering Day (2008): An event sponsored by my company that introduces high school girls to engineering.
United Way Donation Drive Coordinator for a group of rotational engineers in my region.
Serve as my company’s campus recruiting leader for New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Because my new assignment requires frequent and irregular travel, I have found it difficult to participate in non-company sponsored EC’s that meet regularly. Is that a problem?
Hobbies:
I am a competitive runner. I typically train 5 days a week and run ~5 races a year (5-milers to marathons).
I travel frequently. I have been to 20+ countries and usually go on 1-2 road trips per month.
----------------------------
I will have strong recommendations from former supervisors.
If a peer recommendation is required I would like to use a colleague that I work with frequently and who knows me well. They are a non-native English speaker so their grammar may not be impeccable. Is that a concern?
I plan to pursue a career in management consulting and am currently interested in corporate/government energy policy and strategy.
I plan to do some soul searching over the next year to refine my career ambitions and visit each of my target schools.
Sorry this is so long....

My take on all of the evals of profiles is that you know you're a strong candidate and you know what you want. If you're looking to find out which school are good fits for you, contact their admissions office. Better than that, figure out a way to contact current students or alumni. You can learn a lot about a school from it's current students. Of the top 10 schools, there is surely going to be one that will fit your personality. Even though I'm not in b-school yet, everything I've read on here and in books leads me to believe that once you get to the very top of the schools, a good fit is more important than the name on the degree when you're done. Each of the schools is very well respected. You want to enjoy your time and learning environment.

If you end up going down the Management Consulting path, check out:
Kellogg
Haas
Tuck
Duke
Wharton
Columbia
Your profile should fit in at all of those schools as well as most of the Top 15. You just have to decide where you want to be geographically and which school is a good "fit".
