Profile Evaluation

Hi Guys,

This is my first time posting on one of these forums, but I thought it might be useful to get some feedback on my MBA application. I would love to apply to the top schools and wonder how good of a shot I have at getting accepted.

Age: 24 (25 at time of application)
Race/Gender: Caucasian Male
Undergrad GPA: 3.7
GMAT: 760
Work Experience: Currently working for Ernst & Young, two of my main clients being very well known tech and social media companies. Recently became a CPA. I will have 2 years of experience when I apply (hoping to start Fall 2013) and 3 years once I start my MBA program.

Extras: Fluent in Vietnamese and spent a two year service mission teaching free English classes and helping incoming immigrants prepare to pass citizenship tests. I have also recently volunteered to teach early morning classes at my church. Enjoy rock climbing, tennis and snowboarding.

I am hoping to apply to the top programs (Harvard, Wharton, Chicago, Berkeley, Duke & Stanford)with a few backups thrown in as well. However, I know that I will need to differentiate myself through essays. Any advice/pointers? Am I being realistic with my target schools?

Thanks any feedback is really appreciated.

I think you're being very realistic. I don't see why you shouldn't be selected unless you do your essays real bad.[/quote]
