Dear tfa2mba:

You have a good list started. In addition to Daniel's suggestion of Duke, there is also Kellogg and Minnesota that place well in brand. Another way to identify other potential schools is to research where brand companies you are interested in recruit for MBA talent.

Best of luck to you!

Dear tfa2mba:

I think you have a comprehensive list. There are obviously other programs that might suit your needs, but I don't know that you need any additional schools or that they add anything to your mix.
