Stacy,
I would like to get your take on my chances at either Harvard, Stanford or Wharton/Lauder. I graduated from a top 25 state school with a 3.35 in Finance. I am the first one on either side of my family to have graduated college and self-financed 100% of my education. My practice GMAT's have so far yielded between 700 and 720. I have been working the past three years for a division of Citigroup Private Wealth Management, and am starting a new job in a couple of weeks with a boutique IB that works exclusively with Private Equity firms and will be there for the next two years. I took two years off durring undergrad for volunteer service for my church in South America where I lead a group of 200 other volunteers. I speak Spanish fluently and have been active in other organizations as a volunteer. At this point, knowing that I can't go back and pull up my GPA, what are some areas that I should focus on to improve my candidacy? I appreciate your response.
