other possible schools in US

Hi agps,

What are you hoping to do after your MBA? What are your criteria for selecting schools? Many people prefer a certain location (NYC or San Francisco or Chicago for instance), a certain style of teaching (case or lecture) or have specific goals that require programs with strength in those areas (MIT for technology, Wharton for finance, Kellogg for marketing - for instance). Visiting a list of schools will give you an idea of your "fit" with the student population, whether you like the teaching style, etc.

If you're asking which schools you can get into, I would take a look at the businessweek.com school profiles and search for schools where your basic stats would be at the mean for those schools. That will give you an idea of where you may be most competitive. Applying to a mix of schools this year is a good strategy - one or two "reach" schools, one or two that seem reasonable for your profile, and then one or two "safety" schools (where your stats are high for their class profile.)

Extracurriculars are usually volunteer activities or other outside of work organized activities such as involvement with a sports team, alumni association, or other organization. Hobbies are things you do for fun in a non-organized manner - which is what you are describing I think.

Good luck!

Amy
