Low GPA, what are my chances at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, or Wharton MBA?

I am currently a second year IB analyst (FIG) at a bulge bracket in New York (Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs).

I graduated from the top business school in Canada with a 3.5 GPA.

I worked previously at a boutique IB and managed to lateral my way into a MM and then into a BB.

My gmat score is 710.

What are my chances of being accepted into Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, or Wharton MBA?

I am doing an MBA, because I'm very tired of working in IB. I don't intend to go back into financial services, and really don't know what I want to do after business school.

First off, there is no MBA at Princeton. You obviously are just focusing on schools due to brand name and need to do some research before you start thinking about applying to MBA

Solid counterpoint. And yeah, Yale is sick but isn't MBA business schools ">M7, which would be the super-elite pool you seem to be trying to reference.
