Hi,

Thanks for your post. Given the information you've shared, I do think you can be competitive for admission at the schools on your list. However, it will be important for your to find a way to distinguish yourself from others in the applicant pool. Ideally you can pull from extracurricular activities for leadership or team examples for some of your essays. Additionally, it might be a good idea to consider retaking the GMAT. While the adcom won't likely have concerns about your quantitative ability, your overall score is a bit below the average at the schools on your list. I realize deadlines are right around the corner, but a higher score could give you a bit more of a competitive edge.

Regards,

Stacey
