Hi

I know that I have a decent chance at schools ranked 10-14, I am wondering if I have a realistic shot at the top 5 schools.

I am 26 years old, my UG school is nothing fancy, but I do have a few years of work experience in a leadership capacity. I expect to graduate with 3.6 from business school (top 15 school). How much will these factors compensate for my low UGPA? Is it worth applying to Harvard, Columbia, NYU, or even Yale?

Thanks for your help.

You might have a chance at CCN, so it would be worth a shot, but you're all but guaranteed to be rejected at HYS with that GPA, unless you have some absolutely killer soft (B-school is not one)...
