elixirof life,

You appear to be competitive at these schools. The profile you provided is an unremarkable one, however, so your odds may hinge on your ability to 'set yourself apart' through your essays (e.g., Wharton's innovative class essay, Booth's PowerPoint). Feel free to send me your CV at [email protected].
