<p>I took my first diagnostic on Friday (official GMAT Prep) and scored a 740 (46Q, 46V). It's a lot higher than I expected, and now I'm wondering if I should reevaluate my list of schools for Round 2 in January. Realistically, because I work in non-profit, I can't afford to apply to many schools, so my list has to be places I have a decent shot of being accepted, no more than 5.</p>
<ul>
<li>GPA 3.5 from a top ten liberal arts</li>
<li>MA in History, no. 1 program in my specific field, 3.8 GPA</li>
<li>Goals: I want to work for a consulting company in educational tech.</li>
<li>Work experience: 4 years right now. I built educational research databases at a HYP research institute, published several articles there, then took on a massive database automation project at another competitive school. When that project finished, I took a job teaching humanities at a private school when a headmaster in my network needed a replacement. Not necessarily the most attractive next step, but direct service experience is definitely in line with my career goals.</li>
<li>Extracurriculars: Volunteer coordinator at a local non-profit, involved with a local environmental restoration project, and section leader in a local choir. Coached track and field at my last school, with more professional singing experience in the past.</li>
<li>28 y/o white male</li>
</ul>
<p>I know this probably isn't the best place to have a non-traditional profile evaluated, but if I score as well on the real GMAT, where would I have a shot? After speaking with someone used to working with liberal arts grads applying to b-school, I have Columbia, Tuck, Yale and Ross on my list. Any others that might be a good fit? Would I have even a slim, maybe 10% chance at Wharton, which is heavy on non-profit?</p>
