<p>Yes. I should clarify that time in service refers to full-time served after graduating from a 4-year university. The overwhelming majority of veterans in b-school are those who've spent time as a commissioned officer; of course, there are some who were prior enlisted but those years usually aren't acquired after obtaining a bachelors.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, I am will be going to USMA prep school this year, it's hard to say now how many years I will stay in after USMA, but i am pretty sure that after I am out I will try to either go to law school or get an MBA.</p>
<p>Could you also please send the resumes to me as well? Send them to <a href="mailto:Joedutson@yahoo.com">Joedutson@yahoo.com</a>. Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>I had one friend from Colgate who had a 3.3 GPA with BA in Economics and 680 GMAT and four years as fixed income analyst at European bank chose Wharton over UChicago and Columbia (rejected Stanford, Tuck, MIT).</p>
<p>A second friend from Colgate with 3.6 GPA in Religion and 660 GMAT and three years as an analyst at BB investment bank chose Tuck over Harvard (rejected Stanford).</p>
<p>A third friend from Colgate with 3.4 GPA in Math/Econ and 720 GMAT and three years as an analyst at BB investment bank and two years as buyside analyst chose Tuck over Wharton (rejected MIT).</p>
<p>A fourth friend from Colgate with 3.3 GPA in English and 680 GMAT and five years as an analyst at strategy consulting firm chose Tuck over Wharton and Kellogg.</p>
<p>A friend from Amherst with 3.7 GPA in History and 650 GMAT and three years as an analyst at boutique consulting firm and three years at education firm chose Harvard over Tuck and Kellogg (rejected Stanford).</p>
<p>A friend from Middlebury with 3.3 GPA in English and 650 GMAT and five years as an analyst at strategy consulting firm got into Kellogg (rejected Stanford, Harvard, Tuck).</p>
<p>A friend from BC with 3.4 GPA in Finance and 730 GMAT and five years as an analyst at commercial bank got into UChicago (rejected Wharton, Tuck).</p>
<p>It's a very random process from what I've seen, so apply to a few places and hope for the best. Unless you're exceptional in some way, you really need 750+ GMAT to have a legitamite shot at Stanford, especially since they don't conduct interviews.</p>

A guy a work with at my church graduated from Harvard Business School 3 years ago. He graduated from BYU in Statistics, worked for a couple of years in Denver for Towers Perrin (only 2 years I think), was accepted to HBS, graduated and now works for McKinsey and Associates in Texas. He scored a 730 on his GMAT. He's an overall outstanding person who is not overlly charismatic or outgoing, but just confident and capable. There's really not anything flashy about him, he's just confident, works very hard, and is a person of integrity.

<p>Probably a mormon... which explains a lot... there are a lot of BRILLIANT mormons who don't in any way flaunt it. Being from Utah, I have a lot of mormon friends who are down right brilliant... getting a 35 on the ACT and 700+ on the GMAT (with very little prepwork) is not all that uncommon. Ofcourse, the religion promotes education from age 3 up, and is just an over-all well educated social structure....</p>
<p>Hey, if it's not too much trouble, I was wondering if any of you guys with the resumes could send them my way as well, itd be so greatly appreciated! Just send them to <a href="mailto:diuretic@gmail.com">diuretic@gmail.com</a> if any of you guys have some free time. Thanks in advance =]</p>
<p>I think that list of resumes is pretty questionable, otherwise I really need to reconsider about applying NYU and UChicago. but how come there are so many people from Northwestern got into Wharton?</p>

<p>Uh, all the people I know who got into Stanford got interviews. </p>
<p>Come to think of it, none of them had 750+ GMAT's (well, maybe one did), nor were they particularly exceptional, at least, no more exceptional than the average admittee to a top-Bschool.</p>
