Dear V074886,

Based on your high GMAT and GPA, I do think you have a shot at a top 20 school. What will make a difference for you will be how you present your work experience and rationale for business school; basically, it comes down to your essays, recommendations, and interviews. I would suggest doing a good amount of research to identify the schools that are the best fit for you and coming up with a target list of 5-6. On your list, you should have a couple of safety options (probably in the 15-40 range). Once you have your schools identified, it would be good to visit if you can and establish a rapport with someone in the admissions office. Finally, you want to apply in the first round, so this is definitely the time to get started.

Best of luck,
Lisa
