Veteran for MBA

Hi,

Didn't get into IB my sophomore year. I'm just going to stick with Army for 4 years. After that, I think I'll get my MBA. I'm hoping a top program (Wharton, Harvard, Stanford...). Will have a 3.5 from Ivy League undergrad Econ major, realistically something around 700 on GMAT. 

2 Questions: 

- To what extent will being a veteran help me?

- Still worth doing an MBA?
