This is my first post on GMAT Club. I appreciate any advice suggestions, comments etc.
Age: 28 Gender: Male
Experience: 5 Years Full-Time
My story in a nutshell:
I am co-founder and majority shareholder of a online education company. The company was founded in 2005, when I was 22. and has grown to employ over 100 US employees and 200 Indian employees. I am involved in all aspects of the company, but mainly act as lead sales and marketing director. I also act as in-house counsel and I have significant international experience traveling and working in India as a manager. Last year the company had more than 12 million dollars in revenue. I expect the company to grow by more than 500% in the next 10 years.
UGPA- 3.125 from top 25 public school-social science major- I know this isn't great but I'm hoping my GMAT score will help balance this out.
Law School GPA- 2.35-from Top 50-75 Law school I enrolled in law school shortly after I founded my company. In retrospect, it was a poor decision as I was not able to give law school the time it deserved. I focused on my business at the expense of my studies and my grades suffered seriously. I ended up graduating and passing the bar, but my academic record is spotty, especially law school. Not sure how to deal with this on applications. It should be a positive that I'm licensed and have expertise in business and corporate law, but the grades haunt me.
GMAT- 750 on my second attempt (Q49/V43) AWA 6.0, first attempt 700 Q45/V41 AWA 6.0
What are my chances at HBS? Wharton? Columbia? Berkeley? Be honest. My feelings won't be hurt. If you think I have a shot, please advice how I should frame my story and deal with my weaknesses. Thanks a bunch in advance!!

Hello,
Your profile sounds perfectly sound for the schools mentioned by you
Your concern about low GPA and poor academic performance --- Strong academic performance is sought by these top b-schools because they want to ensure that students survive and adapt to the fastest growing learning environment. Your GMAT fills up this gap. You can surely highlight your GMAT (750) and can share your story of lower GMAT in your essays or during interview.
Your story --- highlight entire sequence of your entrepreneurship experience at its best, do not miss any aspect that has helped you learn about different functions
1) Highlight your international experience for diversity and adaptability
2) Highlight your experience and involvement in various functions as an entrepreneur
3) Highlight the growth and success story
4) Be clear about your post MBA goal
Experience of entrepreneurship is taken very seriously by the adcom, and you have an advantage with the same.
Hope this helps
