Hi!, I would appreciate your help evaluating my profile!

I am very happy with this change because I wanted to move from the technical area to the business/commercial area of IT, and this represents a first step.

Taking it again in 1 month (want to get at least 730). Please tell me if this is a must for my target programs.

PostGrad
ESAN | Graduate School of Business

Ranked 1st of the class, GPA 4.0 – I found that management if one of my passions, I liked it a lot, which reflects my success.

Captain of the university Kung Fu, as a team we won several university championships.
Once every two months (aprox.) I did some community service in rural areas of Peru. We (Kung fu team) gathered donations for the kids on that areas, played with them, taught them kung fu, etc.
Formed a 3 person team to make a startup developing Iphone apps. I had to quit for my MBA preparation.
Fitness enthusiast. I have also helped a lot of my friends to change their nutritional and exercising habits, by motivating and guiding them. This has improved their way of life, which makes me very happy.
I would like to apply to (2013-14 R2):
HBS, Wharton, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, Booth, Tuck (Please tell me if this is realistic)
Thanks a lot!![]()
