Hi and thanks for your note. I think you should be a very good candidate at the schools that you mention and that there is better than average chance to get some "free money" in the form of fellowships, etc.

My chief concern with your plan is that, for students going to the type of program that you mention, your MBA will not come from a particularly prestigious institution. Now, this is fine as long as you are not planning to work for the type of company that only hires from Harvard, Wharton, and Stanford, but you should be aware that your employment options will probably be fairly local and not as high-paid as alums from more prestigious schools.

Its up to you to choose between those trade-offs.
Keep me in the loop about your thinking and let me know if you have any more questions.
