Hi Zephyr,

Your profile seems pretty impressive.Based on your profile,here are few b-schools with GMAT Range & Consultancy Placement Rate(%):
GMAT Range Consl. Placement
1. Wharton 560-790 30%
2. Kellogg 670-760 40%
3. Stanford 580-790 31%
4. Sloan 660-750 39%
5. Duke 630-740 34%
6. Ross 650-750 34%
7. Ivey 590-750 32%
8. INSEAD 650-760 39%
9. Smith 610-730 32%

Hope the information is useful.Kindly be informative that applying in multiple b-schools raises the chances of being accepted in 2 or 3 schools. Most importantly, the weight-age given to GMAT in any B-School(s) is not more that 20% of the entire application. So, start working on your applications immediately & if you wish you can PM me your number for further discussion on your profile & selection of b-schools.

Wish you good luck.

Cheers!!
Yash

In a very rough manner (we need more details about your work experience, your goals, your school preferences), Top 20/30 programs outside of H/S/W are where your "Sweet spot" will lie. As you are focusing on consulting, pretty much every good program out there is right for you as consulting is a focus of every B-school. Some schools such as Anderson, Tepper, will be a bit easier, and some more difficult (Kellogg, Sloan). I can't really choose schools for you, without knowing your goals in detail and your preferences for type of program/location/etc.

hope this gets you started, and if you have further questions, don't hesitate.
