So, right school and right program? This in a certain sense is easy - the best school you can get into. With strategy consulting, you can go to any MBA program, but essentially the top Strategy Consulting firms all hire from Top programs (for more specific info about who hires from where have a look at the recruiter list of each school.

So, the good news - with your real leadership and your ridiculously high GMAT (and excellent GPA) you are definitely ahead of the pack... buuuuut please do keep in mind that the pack is very large for you! ;)

Now, I think you CAN apply to all the schools on your list and have some chance, but it IS a tough list, and you have no safe school. So either you add one or two safe schools (this would be my recommendation, for which I have been thanked many times in the past :) ). or you can for a "top or bust" strategy as long as you are aware of it,
