WOW. nice profile, Jennifer. You have several things going for you, so where do I begin? Firstly, as a woman, you are already at an advantage since there are fewer female applicants than male to b-school. Secondly, a 770 GMAT is stellar and will grab the attention of all the schools on your list. I love that your post-MBA vision ties directly into some if not all of the experience of your past. Many applicants will talk about social entrepreneurship or green energy or microfinance, etc. in their aspirations, but not have the kind of real world experience that demonstrates it's much more than lip service towards a hot area. Varsity Athlete, multilingual, top 20 world-rank undergrad university to boot. In short, you should have a really good shot at just about any b-school you care to consider and should be fielding scholarship offers with that kind of preparation. Hats off, and let us know if we can be of assistance as you pull everything together.

Thank you so much for your reply! It really eased my anxiety!
