Hi my top choice is NYU but I would also be thrilled with Harvard, Stanford, Georgetown, Northwestern, U Chicago, UPenn, Columbia

I have 2 years of working experiencing at a well known consulting firm

Good leadership examples and volunteering awards at my firm

Graduated from a well respected and well known liberal arts college with a 17% acceptance rate.

I am worried about how much my GPA could weigh on my application being passed up. Please let me know what you think my chances might be at these schools or which ones you think I shouldn't bother applying to.

Thanks!

I doubt H & S would accept that GPA, but its worth submitting an app since you'll get a good URM boost. You probably have a good shot at the rest. Good luck!

You'll do very, very well. I wouldn't rule you out at HYS

But do make sure to spell stanford right when you apply there :wink:
