GMAT: 710 (Q 49, V37)

Extra Curricular...not really rich in this area.

Target Schools: Wharton, MIT, Yale, Duke, Columbia, Darden, Tepper
I still need to do some research on the schools. Harvard was on my list earlier, but with a 710 it looks out of reach.

Experts, can I please get a profile evaluation.

Thanks in advance.[/i]

Hello,

From the information provided I believe that MIT, Wharton, and Columbia will likely be extremely high reaches. Darden would probably be a reasonable reach, and Duke and Tepper would be on-pars to reasonable reaches, depending on other aspects of your application (e.g., your track record of accomplishment, impact, and leadership at work). I suggest adding more schools in the Darden-Duke-Tepper range.

I think you would find helpful my free subscriber mini-report that walks you through how to select a list of schools, including assessing your competitiveness, your wants/needs, and what the schools offer: Best MBA Programs: A Guide to Selecting the Best Ones.
