You have a great applicant profile! However, getting in to a top MBA program is not simply a matter of numbers and a list of impressive accomplishments. You're going to have to tell an outstanding story of why an MBA is the right move for you right now and why you are a great fit for that particular institution.

I'd also suggest applying to more than just three schools. No matter how confident you are in your candidacy, you want to make sure you give yourself a great chance of attending a top MBA program.

Good luck!

your GMAT score will not keep you out of any business school. you are above all of their averages.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I've been told by numerous reliable resources that Stanford GSB is certainly reachable with a 730 bro!
