URM?

if white male

H Penn < 25% chance

NW & Columbia < 40%

Probably get in at Booth > 60%

Need to apply to way more schools bro

I would apply to Tuck, Haas in round 1 and add

Darden,Ross in round 2

why no GSB?

You will get some where if you apply M7+Duke/Darden/Ross/NYU and that should be good enough for MBB so dont stress. you are in decent shape

You have a decent hook but really hammer home the international side of things

regarding Essays keep it tight and concise

no gave GMAT and visited schools and shit and gave up. Wrote lot of recommendation letters and also reviewed essays for friends

MBA is crapshoot and i would apply to S. if anything S is very quirky and shit. you could end up getting dinged in duke and get into S

Yes its a pain in the ass and laborious process but 5 schools in round 1 and 5 in round 2 is not too bad

DO

S+NW+Penn+Duke+Tuck -> round 1

H+Booth+Columbia+Haas+NYU or Darden -> round 2

if your essays and approaches are crap now you are left with only mediocre schools left in round 2

Obviously 5K is important but keep your eyes on the bigger picture

enjoy harvard you humble bragging fgt

EDIT: I would generally recommend having atleast one top school for round 2 so you if you get dinged everywhere in R1 you can adjust your essays etc for R2

but if you are URM then you need to fck it up bad to get dinged at all R1 schools with your scores/mil experience

definitely apply to S

Do HSWBoothNW in R1

Do Columbia Haas Duke Tuck, NYU/Darden in R2 if needed

I think with above average essays and recs you should be able to get into HBS and something in R1

did you see my edit

you have a big edge with URM and basically neutralized your weak GPA which was the major weakness in your profile

you still need to sell your story and write good essays and excellent recs

I would say you have like > 60% chance at HBS now

Make sure you dont get mediocre recommendations

By URM I am assuming black/hispanic or native american. nothing else matters. play up that angle.

That 760 coupled with his military officer experience makes him a unique butterfly. He will get into several of those schools. He doesn't need to apply anywhere else.

undecided about booth. don't really want to be in the midwest though 6 people from my old job ended up there so i should probably add it to the list. and of course it's an objectively great school.

only 250 words sounds pretty sweet. what are the Qs? i've always been a good writer and i'm good at marketing myself so i haven't been freaking out about the essays yet. i've looked through some prompts and i think i'd be able to knock them out pretty quickly.

Also you generally submit the same recommendation letter to all schools online so it should not be too much of an hassle for your references whether you apply to 6 or 8 or 10

Also come up with general themes you want to address and divide it among various ppl so there is no overlap

finally get it only from ppl who are willing to play the game. you should pretty much write or atleast edit recommendation letters. if somebody is not willing to keep you involved and write it fully on their own without your input avoid them

lol at fckng ethics for MBA. how the fck do you think ppl becomes CEOs?

if you are not willing to do this shit then MBA is not for you. i ask them what they want me to talk about and write a rough draft so it will have my voice. then i give it to the guy for edits and additions. then we sit and review together and do final edit and i upload

Rec letters in academia are supposed to be honest appraisals, not about how well you can suck the applicant's dick.
