You should be targeting schools located in the general region where you will be working post-MBA. This will help you leverage that school's network. Most schools on your list (not all) will not have much of a reputation in Asia, but I can see where the cache of an "American MBA" might have broad appeal. I think the higher ranked schools on your list will be a stretch mostly due to your GMAT score and the fact you hail from a very crowded applicant pool, in which you will stand out for sure, but not in a good way, since the average GMAT score in your pool is high. I like that you do consulting and for a marquee name too--that will help since you offer to your classmates who want to do consulting an insiders perspective. I would play this up and try to convince them you have the academic octane to succeed in a top MBA program. Pick 5-10 schools to apply to and focus on these things. Considered retaking the GMAT? if you could add 50+ points, yours would be a more compelling profile. As for school selection, you can definitely get what you are looking for at any or all of these programs.
