Stacy, I am considering applying this coming October to Harvard and MIT.

My stats are as follows:
1)GMAT 690(Q:47,V:37)
2)GPA , 83 from The Technion, Israel Institute of Technology.(I am currently a collage senior, finishing school in a year). - My major is industrial engineering.
3)I've served in the Israeli military while at the age of 18-21, at a top computer unit, with some managerial responsibilities.
4)After enrolling in the Technion , I started my own Internet consulting company, which brought in good results.
5)Created a social networking start with two classmates, which is being used extensively in Israel's top universities.
6)I hold a US private pilot license.

What do you think my chances are at the aforementioned schools? Is my GMAT/GPA too low? What about my experience? good enough?

Thanks in advance!

Dear ehudal,

Your GMAT/GPA are fine and within range. The main weakness in your profile is your lack of professional work experience (post-bachelor's degree). These schools do consider a few folks directly from undergraduate studies with high numbers and demonstrated leadership skills. So if you feel you are mature enough and have a solid rationale for getting an MBA (and getting it now), then you should apply.

Best of luck,
Lisa
