hey i am thinking about applying for bschool in a few years and would like to maximize my chances of getting into a top 15 program. I am providing information about myself in the hopes you would provide me with some advice/thoughts on my chances of admittance to these schools:

about me:

us citizen.
GMAT: 710 M44 V42
GPA: 3.5 George Washington Univ. Dec 2002 (early)
(Major: International Affairs, Int'l Econ concentration, honors program)
JOB: will be starting in two weeks at the US Dept of Commerce as an Import Policy Analyst. Previous experience is an issue will explain later...
OTHER: Eagle Scout
Certified Personal Trainer
Member of community group and on econ committee for mainstreet initiative.

I am thinking of applying for 2007--maybe. Before this job I have held several extended temporary positions as i was in a touring band and my focus was on that aspect of mylife. I intend to explain this is my optional essays. I hope to put in a few years at the new job to mitigate some of the concerns with that.

I am looking to apply to the following schools...

Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, NYU, Columbia, Michigan.

What are my chances of admittance to these? Are there things that I can do in the next few years to increase those chances?

your advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks for your inquiry.

With the right positioning, career progression, extracurriculars, and 'wow' factor, I see no reason why you shouldn't be competitive in 2007. You will probably need until 2007, to gain the proper quantity and quality of work experience. Your GMAT score is only good for 5 years, so if you took it too long ago, you will have to retake it.

If you would like a customized and highly-detailed action plan to ensure you are optimally positioned for those future applications, you can contact me directly. This can be covered in a one-hour consultation and we do have consultants based in Washington, DC.

Best of luck with your applications!

Sincerely,
