wow, you might be one of the more unusual candidates applying next year, which is a good thing. Obviously I think UCLA Anderson is a great fit. Go and visit if you have not done so already. HS will also like your non traditional profile, but things will always be tougher applying to those schools. Really look at where you have made real impact.

You are obviously smart (4.0 chemistry is very good), if you think a GMAT retake could push the score up 30+ points, then that might help with HS. Probably the biggest piece of advice though, work HARD on those goals. really figure out a clear path going forward, over the next few months. That will really help your narrative for your essays. Good luck. cheers, alex
