Hello,
Could you please give my profile a quick evaluation.
Schools considering - Harvard (2nd time applying), Wharton (interviewed last year), Columbia, Northwestern, Michigan (safety)
-25 year old white male
-3.56 GPA in mech engr, started at 3.0 and trended up each year (3.65 in major) - small liberal arts college in midwest
-740 Gmat (Q50/V40)
- 1 year , mechanical engineer for a major manufacturing company (in charge of getting a manufacturing line fda approval) - worked in operations
-2 years working for a pharma consulting firm - work in operation projects - will have a promotion (did not have during last application)
-Volunteer - have coached 3 separate youth basketball teams, and started a non-profit youth basketball camp - continued involvement in coaching sports
-Goal is to continue to work in the pharma industry as a consultant once i graduate to gain more experience, then long term goal to become a COO of a pharma company to be able to fix some of the problems within the pharma industry - relates back to growing up and my father having a life threatening illness and the bills that ensued after.
Let me know if I have a realistic chance at the schools i stated above and how should I approach my application and camouflage any obvious weaknesses.
Or any schools you think i am leaving out of the mix!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
Profile Eval! Please and thanks!

Hey dude,
Good to hear from you.
So overall, your profile looks pretty good. You have a great GMAT, are in a very nice industry, have great volunteer work, and a good GPA.
I don't really at this point know enough detail about your work experience to be able to judge how strong that is (also hard to see about your school), but things look pretty good.
I think you can likely stay within the Top 10, and your school list has a nice balance. HBS can always be a bit tough, and a lot will ride on how well you do on that application. But I think you have a shot.
But overall seems like things are going in the right direction.
If you want a free consultation drop a line here: https://bit.ly/mbafcBTG
And we'll be happy to hook you up,
Best,
JF
