760. GPA was 3.4, but a lot of that was comp sci. Very strong Finance experience. Apply first round if you can. I got the interview and my interview went well. It is more competitive than you think.

You'll be fine. Be confident in your abilities, humble in your approach, interesting in your inquires, and generous in your contributions. It doesn't matter what color or sex or height you are. It matters what the school believes you'll bring to them and to your classmates.

Almost positive he's joking.

I think you have as good a chance as any other consultant (many will have the same profile). Your essays and recommendations will be the deciding factor - make sure you stand out! Good luck!
