Hello,

It’s difficult to suggest MBA programs without knowing your goals, which are a major deciding factor in school selection.

That said, given the strengths and weaknesses and demographic factors, I’d say generally you could reasonably target schools in the range from UNC, Marshall, or Texas/Austin as the “reasonable reach” end to Georgetown, Purdue, Rochester’s Simon as more on-target or par schools. Of course, a close evaluation of the details of your career, goals, etc., could produce a different conclusion.
