As you already know the 660 will hurt you. Retake the GMAT to try to improve your score.

If you can improve your score, you can consider Tepper and McCombs. You should be competitive for Smith (University of Maryland) as is but a higher score will help your chances. U.S. News publishes a ranking of Information System specialties so this is a good start for your research (https://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... s-rankings).

Best of luck,
