Dear ecz.ozgeuyanik:

You have quite a long list of schools and might want to consider narrowing your list to 4-5 programs. The sticky posted on school selection and GMAT/GPA for a top 5 might be helpful to you in determining which schools you will apply to this fall. Lastly, remember your application is considered holistically. A GMAT score alone will not lead to an admit or reject decision. The admissions committee needs to have more than one reason to admit, or reject, any application.

Good luck!
