How long ago did you finish your MBA? How long did you work in finance, and was it after or during school?

Finished MBA '13, finance for the year between then and now.

Going to be really hard to tell - you're a super-splitter pretty much anywhere worth going to, but with that LSAT score, an advanced degree and at least a year of real work experience, I'd be hard-pressed to tell you to skip putting in an application anywhere.

H? No

if he has decent softs and applies on day one i'd say he has a 15-20% chance.

that's a "shot"

Find me one single non-URM, M.D., or celebrity-status softs on LSN who got accepted to any of HYS with below a 3.5.

I think YS are almost certainly out. But H is perhaps a 1/10 shot based on some anecdotal evidence. Also, LSN tends to skew toward the higher end of the applicant pool. So, I imagine there are a couple non-URM/non-uber softs/non-MD types getting into each Harvard class with a sub-3.5. And the apps are still in a nice trough.

I'm with toothbrush...I don't think this is a wasted app, albeit unlikely.

Enjoy Northwestern with $$. You should consider the AJD program (2 years).

yes

I doubt it. That's like Lebron being mad at Kobe due to the championship discrepancy. You guys are both in pretty rarified air.

blanket t14, but i personally think hys chi and boalt are out
cls is 50/50, in at nyu
$$ at mvp + duke if in, spend some time on those 'why' letters if you want to avoid wl
similar stats here, pm if you want to chat

Likely in at CLS, NYU, and Northwestern. Numbers are good enough for everything below HYS but many of those schools like to WL people so write the optional essays and try to tailor your apps just a bit. H is worth an app because why not and because $121 or whatever it costs isn't going to stop you from retiring, but it's very unlikely.
