Hello,
I am trying to enter business school in 2012. I am planning on applying to the following schools: Darden, Duke, UT McCombs, Ross, and UCLA Anderson. I am wondering if these are too far of a reach, or if I have shot. Additionally, if you would recommend any other schools(is five too many or too few?) Do I need to retake my GMAT to be competitive?
