You have a competitive profile for Fuqua, Ross, ISB. I don't think you are competitive at Stanford and INSEAD. Booth, Sloan, Kellogg and Tuck are stretch programs. You have no safety programs on your list.

Thanks a lot, Linda. Can you please list one or two "safety programs" so that I know where to look?

I would say that, UT, UNC, Kelley, or Babson (if you are interested in entrepreneurship) would be safety programs for you.

Best,
Linda
