Hi there,

Thanks for posting. Love how you've been promoted so quickly and are already leading teams and getting some management experience at a young age. Also love that you are obviously driven/determined by working on your start-up on the weekends. And you have the service experience as well, plus international experience. Grades & GMAT are respectable.

The one potential concern I could see is just that you have less experience overall than the average accepted applicant; if applying soon (???) you'll need to really aim to show that the QUALITY of your experiences far surpass the quantity of years you have.

You should have strong chances overall at top 15/20 programs; however your school list centers a lot on the top 5-8 or so... while I could see with very strong essays/recs/interview etc, a chance for you there, just keep in mind how competitive admission at those schools is and that it could be a long shot, so keep in mind some options in the 10-25-ish range as well.

Good luck to you!
