Thanks
You have a shot at H/S. Your work experience is competitive. Your academics are excellent. Your community service is Ok, but doesn't sound remarkable.
To go from "a shot" to acceptance:
You might want to listen to https://blog.accepted.com/ida-valentine-investment-banker-inspirational…</a">our podcast this week, which is with a HBS admit coming from IB. Part of her story is tragic, but much of it shows a commitment to making the world a better place. Focus on that commitment and her purposefulness as you listen.
Best, Linda
