Hi -

I was hoping to get some feedback on my profile and my chances of getting accepted to UT Austin, UCLA, or UVA full-time MBA. I'll also apply to a couple top tier schools (Wharton and Stanford).

Boston College - Economics major (3.67 GPA)
4 years in top-tier Management Consulting Firm
690 GMAT (44 Quant, 40 Verbal) 5.5 AWA
2 years strong volunteer activities

Thank you!

I had a 680 GMAT and lower GPA from similarly ranked school and got into Berkley, Cornell, NYU, Ross, UCLA and Darden (attending Haas most likely). Rejected from Tuck, Kellogg and Columbia and waitlisted from Fuqua. It is very possible to get into the schools you are aiming for as long as you have strong essays/recommendations and can interview well.

emphasis on "It is very possible to get into the schools you are aiming for as long as you have strong essays/recommendations and can interview well." Your GMAT score won't keep you "out" of any school's consideration.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
