Hi all,

I am currently a student at the George Washington University in Washington, DC. I am looking to go to a top b-school directly following my undergraduate graduation. I am primarily looking at Harvard 2+2 and Yale Silver Scholars, but also surveying other programs. Basically, I just want your help in evaluating my prospects. I’ve included information below. Please let me know if you think they’re competitive for the aforementioned programs or if you would suggest looking into any other schools.

GMAT: 720

UG: George Washington University School of Business (BBA-Finance)
UG GPA: 3.85
UG Notes: graduating in five semesters total (2.5 years)

Major Internships:
-U.S. House of Representatives [5 months]
-Rolls-Royce North America (Aerospace) [4 months]
-boutique DC realty firm (not actual name) [3 months]

Letters of Rec.:
-I have been given the license to write my own recommendation for my Congressional internship; therefore, I will have a very accurate, desirable letter from a current Congressman
-Other letters undecided

Extracurricular Activities:
-Residence Hall Association (Finance Chair)
-University Finance and Investments Club (Member)
-College Republicans (Member)

So please, let me know what you guys think. I’m not naive, I know my chances are slim without any work experience, but I thought some differing perspectives would be helpful.
