I may not be reading your GRE score correctly because you say it is 1280 and that is not possible. The class average at Wharton is 324 so I don’t really know what’s up with that. There are a bunch of issues with Wharton. Your GPA is below the class average and it’s from a non-feeder state school.

My advice to you is to pursue a multi-pronged admissions strategy. Make Wharton and Kellogg your reach schools. Then, select a Cornell/Duke/Michigan, and finally two schools just outside that group up until a rank of 25. Obviously, your odds will go up the deeper you go in the rankings where age becomes something less of a concern. Good luck.
