Dear islandgurl918,

It is hard to say without having more detailed information on your background, but based on your post, I would say these are all reach programs for you. Georgetown and Maryland are a bit more within reach than USC and UCLA, but still a bit of a challenge. It is imperative you have a compelling application package that makes a strong case for you to be in the class and demonstrates you can handle the rigor of the program, namely from a quantitative standpoint. I think you have some interesting professional experience and other positives in your background that will be an asset for you, but the admissions committee must feel comfortable you can handle the quantitative aspect of the program. Since you are looking to apply next year, one thing you might consider is building an alternative transcript of math courses (i.e., college algebra, finite math, calculus) and other intensive quant subjects (i.e., statistics, finance, accounting). Also, you can try to raise your GMAT score again, but don't expend the resources unless you feel you can pull up your score at least 30 points.

Good luck,
Lisa
