Sofia,

Your profile looks competitive for the top schools. However, majority of the applicants are competitive or qualified for these schools but only 10-15% get in. The difference is because of the execution of the application. You need to make sure that all the strengths of your profile are reflected in your application in the best possible manner. Another point that you may want to think about is your extracurricular. Pranic healing and Tarot card reading may be termed more as interests than activities and hence, it will be critical for you to show some consistent contribution in outside work activities. Finally, about the school selection - It should be your post MBA goals that should help you decide what schools you want to target. Also, you can read this blog post to help you start thinking about your target schools.

Good luck!
