Profile:
~3.8, Magna Cum Laude: Double in Finance, Accounting
School is decent state school, probably around ~60 in US News with undergraduate business school ranking around 20.
GMAT: 740
I will be working in a commercial banking role at a "super-regional", specifically focused on real estate.
Additionally, I will be serving as a director for a family non-profit.
In addition, I plan on getting involved with at least 1 other community service or non profit ancillary activities to help demonstrate my leadership abilities.
My question is, 3 or 4 years out, where will I have a chance with this commercial banking background? My dream is Harvard or Wharton, but are these out of reach? How about Chicago/MIT/Columbia?
Thanks

This might be the most useless question I've ever read. If I say HWS, will that cue you to go and suck the AdCom's dick? If I say no, will you refuse to swallow after the BJ?

Sorry, by vote down, I mean throw monkey feces.
Blue,
Obviously, there are many variables but your stats (740, 3.8) are above the averages at H/S/W. Working at a commercial bank will not preclude you (admits come from a diverse background of careers, schools, countries, etc.) I would find something that you are passionate about outside of work (i.e. coaching youth sports, volunteering for a local org., etc.)to demonstrate that you are well-rounded and excel in team/leadership activities.
With a convincing story, there is no reason why you are not more competitive than the clowns above, whose posts were much more useless than yours.
Very good post.
