Hi and thanks for your post.
It sounds like you have done good work and have a fine and appropriate list of schools. Well done.
My only thoughts are:
- Have you vetted these according to your geographic, functional, and industry interests? Check out my post on criteria for choosing a business school for these and other things that may make a difference.
- You should probably think about narrowing your list down a bit. I tend to think that six (plus or minus two) schools is about right. Perhaps my criteria list could help you narrow your list down a bit...
- You are slightly below average in some ways for some of your tartget schools (which is NOT to say that you are not a totally legitimate candidate). Hiring an admissions consultant may make sense. You can click on the link below to find out more about Kaplan or we can talk on the phone a bit about how I could help you. You can also check out my post on criteria for choosing an admissions consultant.

Keep me in the loop about your thinking and let me know if you have any more questions.
