My profile:
30 years old (applying at age 31)
3.2 GPA from top 50 school, Business Admin./Philosophy Minor (C's in business classes, high grades in liberal arts, particularly philosophy and English)
GMAT: 720
Member of MENSA (High IQ Society)
Lots of varied and successful hobbies (state ranked tennis player, state ranked musician)
Excellent community service, maturity, leadership
Unconventional Vocational Background: Religious non-profits and now a retail company (with leadership role). The small non-profit I worked for did some extraordinary things in our field - like organizing the largest conference of it's kind (3 of us organized a conference for 8,000!).
Recommendations: 1. Former President of non-profit (Cambridge, PhD) 2. Professor with Harvard MBA (took a class from him post-grad)
Do Top 10 schools make a place for people from the religious community? I have quite a few great accomplishments in my work - the challenge is translating those into language the admissions committee can understand. The admissions committee will not be familiar with any company I've worked for.
Any advice on how to better round-out my application? My goal is a top 10 program.
