GMAT 3: 650, Q47, V34, 6.0
Work Experience:

Increase volunteer work

The schools I am thinking on applying to are:
[*]Vanderbilt University (Owen)
[*]Duke University (Fuqua)

[*]Cornell University (Johnson)

Please let me know if my chances to these schools are reasonable. Even though my overall GMAT score is a little weak, I think with the high Quant score, high AWA score, high GPA and good work experience make up for it. Please let me know if I am off base on any of these. Thanks for the help in advance!
