Hello,

It looks to me like some schools on the list would be fairly difficult reaches, e.g., Said, ISB. The other schools would be on-pars to reasonable reaches, and with a stellar application you would have a reasonable chance. Although your GMAT is not exactly low for the first two schools, you're in a demographic and industry group that tends to have higher numbers. I believe a GMAT in the low 700s would increase your competitiveness at such schools.

I can't comment on additional programs without knowing your goals, a critical factor in such an evaluation. Good luck with your MBA plans!
