Hello,

From the information you provided, I think that Wharton and Haas would be rather far reaches. Your age is a slightly negative factor, and being (it seems from your name) an Indian in IT places you in an over-represented group. To be competitive for those schools with your demographic background you would probably need a GMAT in the mid 700s.

Have you considered top EMBA programs? With your age and your position as Senior Consulting Manager, it seems that an EMBA might be a better fit.
