Hello and thanks for your question. I don't really know the schools that you mention very well so am not really in a position to say whether you are a good candidate or not.

I think a useful exercise for you would be to review my criteria for selecting business schools that I outline here:

After you run that "filter" see which ones come out and which ones appeal more and appeal less.
