Hi, mbabuster. Your chances sound good at these schools. You have the things I like to see: GMAT of 700 (or above), sound work and leadership experience, and good academics. The keys that I cannot comment on would be demonstrating real leadership and business impact at work, and of course, leadership or at least activism in the community. If you haven't gotten involved in the community since college, take the time to find an area that matters to you and make a difference. It can make all the difference in the world in your application.

Regards,
Jennifer Bloom, CPRW
