You definitely have a good foundation for b-school, but at a cursory glance, seem to come up just a bit short across the board for the top tier schools. Having said that, don't be discouraged, as it's all in how you present yourself to the committee. there are several overlooked schools in the top 20 such as Cornell, UNC, Carnegie Mellon, and Maryland. Don't worry about stats, worry about how you will cast your vision to the adcom and demonstrate leadership, innovation, maturity and teamwork skills.

Since you already have a master's degree - you should be in a pretty good standing.

Maryland is Smith (if I'm not wrong) Smile

In my opinion, Cornell and Carnegie Mellon both are going to be realistically speaking tough calls for you.

Please consider Georgetown as one option instead.

Warm regards,
