Thank you in advance for the time you take to look over my profile. I am a non-traditional student that after working for a 5 plus years after high school I went back to school. Take a quick look! And tell me what I can work on, and what I should realistically hope to achieve.

WORK EXPERIENCE
I am currently finishing a 4 month post-graduation internship in Shanghai with a small boutique consulting firm called 'Streetsmart International.' The Managing Director wrote a book in 2002 on doing business in China that was a top 1% book on Amazon. We do market entry strategy for companies coming to China, and I have been the project lead on an educational guide published by China's version of Forbes Rich List.

I worked full time between 2002-2011(excluding 2006 & 2007 when I was in Europe). I mainly managed a retail shoe store in 2004/2005. Starting in 2008 I was a Lead Technician for 'Pinnacle Security,' former the larger ADT dealer in the country and now independent. Duties included recruiting, training, and managing all technicians in a large area. Later I opened new offices and areas for the company.

While in School I did Account Management for XanGo, a health juice, in DUTCH.

When you wrote that you had a non-traditional background you weren't kidding dude :)
Not that it's a problem, actually things look preeetty good. I especially like these two points which can be developed for some real and deep leadership:Duties included recruiting, training, and managing all technicians in a large area. Later I opened new offices and areas for the company.

Because you have such a diverse experience, and relatively non-standard development though your story will be very important .Basically it's gotta really make sense, and when you choose your goals, make sure at the same time that they are plausible and ambitious. If they fit with what you have done before, and you can get out your passion and uniqueness, you should have a shot at most of the schools above (Stanford will be tough though, but you gotta try!)

Thank you for your perspective. It is a really difficult decision because I know that some schools will be a huge stretch, and others have said not to try. Are there any that might appreciate my particular background?
