Hi Avani,

Thanks for writing in. Based on a cursory review of your profile you could look to the top-20 schools with confidence. Your extracurricular work since graduating college will be weighted heavier than during college, so you'll want to focus on that. As for improving your profile, I suggest spending some time to draw out what your work accomplishments are -- where have you performed beyond your job description and demonstrated leadership? This will be important in differentiating yourself from the pack, as will a clear description of the company you founded and your reasons for starting it.

Best of luck,

Daniel Richards
