You have an excellent profile. You definitely stand a chance of getting into your target schools. You should look at your application as a a personal marketing package. Use it as an opportunity to let the admissions committees know who you really are as a person. Try to present a well-rounded view (incl. EC interests as well as professional accomplishments). Finally, be sure to tailor each application to the accompanying program. Adcom can sense when you create one set of essays and essentially duplicate them for each program. Best of luck!

I like your profile as well! I went to Booth and think it sounds like a good fit for you. As you approach your Booth essays make sure to discuss things like Booth's flexible curriculum and the strengths not only in finance but also in new ventures/entrepreneurship as this fits nicely with your long term goals.

Booth's new venture challenge may be worth mentioning! And, most importantly, let your passion for the school show!!

Best of luck to you!!
