I have a 3.6 GPA from Trinity College in Connecticut. I made the dean's list twice, and am part of a Social Science society which I was admited into by virtue of my GPA in Econ. I scored a 720 on the GMAT, and I've worked in Boston for 4+ years in Financial Services. 2.5 years at a custodian bank doing investment/hedge fund accounting and another 1.5 years doing Fixed Income investment performance attribution (my current job). My goal has always been to land a job as an analyst at an investment management firm in Boston. To that end, I have passed all 3 levels of the CFA Exam although I have not been awarded the CFA charter yet as my first job did not count towards the work experience I needed. I was on the varsity crew team for 4 years in College (league All-Academic team my senior year). I won a few awards at my first job for computer programs I wrote to streamline various processes.
What are my chances at Harvard, Sloan, and Tuck?

Dear tmartin3,
I think you have a shot at Tuck, Harvard and Sloan. The difference will be how strong your overall application is--essays, resume, recommendations, and interview. You need to make a compelling case for admission and distinguish yourself in the applicant pool. It is also important to visit these schools and establish a connection with someone in the admissions offices.
Best of luck,
Lisa
