ap663
app663,
All this, and you're only 22? I think your chances at all these schools -- and I rarely get to say this -- are decent to good. They are obviously better at Duke, UCLA, and Yale than at Kellogg, CBS, HBS, and Stanford, but you have the special kind of profile to get into all of these schools. Just take the time to do your essays right.
Good luck,
