Hi there!

I'd like to know what my chances are of getting into UCLA and USC MBA programs with the following profile:

Age/Ethnicity: 26 y/o East Asian male. Will be 27-28 when I apply and start classes.

GMAT: Haven't taken it yet but I expect a score of around 700-730. I've taken the GRE and received a 1450 combined score (out of 1600) which is roughly equivalent to 710.

GPA: 3.16/4 from UCLA. Double majored in social sciences.

Work Experience: Healthcare and Healthcare IT Project Management 4.5 years in medium sized companies (large locally but unknown nationally). Will be 5.5 by the time I plan on matriculating. Moved up from an admin assistant to project coordinator, then senior project coordinator. Looking to move into a project manager role fairly soon.

Extra Curricular: Active volunteer in different causes (Red Across, Habitat for Humanity, volunteering at local hospitals, community safety initiatives, and a couple more) since undergrad years although did not take any leadership positions.

Reason for obtaining MBA: To move up career ladder, learn enough to start my own company then donate part of the profits to charitable causes.

Please let me know what my chances are of getting into UCLA/USC and my chances at "higher" ranked schools. If I have a chance at higher ranked schools, what kind of tier schools can I reach for? Thanks!
