Profile:
Age: 26/Female
GPA: 3.7 from a top 50 university in the Northeast. Studied business and have a degree in Finance and Marketing
GMAT: 660 (Q47, V34), 5.5 AWA, and 7 on the IR. I got a 660 both times I've taken the GMAT. I plan on taking it a third time in April and hopefully breaking the 700 mark. If I don't hit 700 on my third attempt, I plan on taking it a fourth time, since I still have some time before I actually apply to schools. (Would it reflect poorly on my application if the admissions committee sees so many attempts at the GMAT?)
Work Experience: 3.5 years working for a couple of major retailers in the U.S. My work experience will be closer to 4.5 years by the time I actually apply to b-school
Extracurriculars: I am a member of the Junior League and I volunteer with a couple of other women's organizations in my local area.
Goal: To go into management consulting.
Top Choices for Schools:
University of Chicago
Northwestern
MIT
Dartmouth
University of Michigan
Carnegie Mellon
Emory
I think I need help narrowing down my school selections and creating a list of reach and safety schools.
