Hi Linda, I will be applying this year for Fall 2011 enrollment, and your reply would be most appreciated!
Male 26 years old (Asian American)
BA in Global Economics - UC Santa Cruz
GPA: 3.5 (3.8 in Major, Honors in Major and Deans List)
GMAT: 710
=Work Experience= (6 years after college)
1. (4yrs at Current) Sales Engineer at a prominent Japanese High-tech Materials manufacturer (2009 Revenue = $5B). Opened new accounts including a top global consumer electronics company representing over $1M in monthly sales (avg account at our firm is $100-200K). Helped establish a Solar Business Task Force to create a marketing and R&D support infrastructure for the Solar business. Responsible for marketing and establishment of new strategic products for Wind Energy and Energy Efficient building materials.
2. (6mos due to restructuring, did not opt to re-locate) Licensing Coordinator at a top gaming console corporation.
3. (1yr, parent's company) Research Assistant at a small size Market Research firm in Japan with global clients.
=Extra Curriculars=
1. Co-chair at Japanese American Student Association during college
2. Secretary of Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity
3. Hobbies: Scuba diving, boxing
=Misc Info=
1. Due to family financial difficulties, I took double the amount of credits in the last year of college to graduate in 3 years.
2. Native level English, using Japanese at business level in current work.
=Reason for B-School=
My short-term goal is to work in a Marketing function for a large, global corporation, possibly in Clean-tech. Long-term, I would like to leverage the corporate experience to work in a marketing function at a VC/entrepreneurial firm. Alternative path is global consulting, if I am accepted into INSEAD.
=Target Schools=
- Reach: Stanford, MIT, INSEAD
- Target: UCLA, UCB
- Safety: USC
I personally feel that Stanford may be a significant stretch, and it would be better to add another "target" school (perhaps NYU). Am I over-estimating my chances with the current picks, or are the brackets above (reach, target, safety) fairly accurate?

Assuming your GMAT is fairly balanced, you have assessed your chances appropriately although I would probably put INSEAD in the Target category. I guess I am a little more optimistic than you are.
Best,
Linda
