Hi there,

Thanks for your post. Great GPA by the way! And solid community experience... if you are able to explaining that service time and your passion for it or reasons for it in a compelling way that will be a plus as well. With your GMAT and a strong but somewhat-similar-to-others profile, while top 5 give or take (or at least HBS-GSB-Wharton) will still likely be a stretch (if you are determined, choose one just to give it a shot as you never know), the other schools will potentially be within reach IF you do a great job on essays, recommendations, interviews and really show a connection with the school as well as why you need the MBA, and what you'll bring to the class. Keep us posted, good luck!
