MHA/MBA Dual Program

Hi Stacy,
I am entering my senior year at the University of Iowa and am graduating next May with my BBA in Finance, with honors. I am hoping to enroll directly out of undergraduate into a MHA MBA dual program. So far I am thinking of applying at U of I., U or Colorado in Denver, U of Minnesota, and U of Michigan. I am also considering applying to some dream schools, such as Harvard, Standford, etc. Here is some basic info on me:

School Honors: GPA 3.62, would be higher except my first semester of college I earned at 2.8. I have maintained a 3.8 or above since then. Member of the U of I Honors Program and Tippie College of Business Honors Program. Nominated Outstanding Achievement in Business Administration.

Activities: Member of Tippie Optimist Chapter (A Business group dedicated to community service) I have been elected by the President to implement and chair a Big Brother Big Sister Program for Tippie Optimist Chapter for 2007-2008 year. Elected Vice-President of Omicron Delta Kappa (Iowa Honor Society) for 2007-2008 year. Volunteer with Big Brother Big Sister in Iowa City.

Employment: I have been working at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for 3 years, the first 2 I was a full-time employee while going to school full-time. I do not gain any supervisory experience in my job but it gives me a wonderful background for hospital administration.

I am aiming for a 700+ on the GMAT, which I am taking in late August. I will be devoting a lot of time to studying so I am sure this is something I can conquer. Do you see any gaps in my information or anything I need to improve? Do you think I will be a competetive candidate for my schools?

Thanks for any advice or help you may give!
