Demographic: African-American - first in my family to graduate from college.

Pre MBA Job: Human Resources/Recruiting - Fortune 50 company

Your profile looks good. If your GMAT score is in the 700+ range then you will be a competitive candidate. It also helps that you did well in your MBA classwork at U of Ph. Your application is evaluated based not only on your GMAT and GPA but also on your essays, LORs, and work experience. You mentioned that you have 10 years of experience but only one in management. Be sure to discuss your career growth (whether through promotions or increased responsibility) over those ten years. Harvard values leadership so you want to show that you can step up to the plate.

Your extracurricular experience is important too because it shows that you are a well rounded individual. Pull from that experience as appropriate to show your uniqueness, innovation, and leadership.

Lastly, make the most of the diversity events. They provide a great opportunity to learn about the schools. But remember that you are being evaluated while you are there, even in informal settings. Current students will try to determine whether or not you are someone they could work with/learn from as a classmate. While they don't ultimately decide who gets admitted, their approval can't hurt. Best of luck!
