hifunda,

Thanks for your post.

Good luck with your Round 1 applications! In terms of Round 2, a couple schools I suggest considering are University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Florida. They both have strong marketing programs and their average GMAT score is within 30 points of yours.

Best,
Heidi
