You're already an IT consultant and want an MBA focused IT Consulting, so you can be an IT consultant?

I don't mean to be facetious but it's not clear to me why you need an MBA? If I can save you $100k, I'm gonna try.

If any case, as you should already know, you're competing in a very tough pool with some pretty 'ordinary' stats. Your best bet is to aim for school outside of the top-10 (maybe even 15) in the US (sorry can't comment on anywhere else as I have only researched US schools...)
