Dear hectorgmat,

Your profile is competitive for your target schools. The key is differentiating your application from the many others that look similar to you as your profile is very common in the applicant pool for these schools. You must use your essays, interview, and recommendations to stand out from the competition and make a compelling case to be offered a seat over the many others who look like you on paper. As for other schools, I encourage you to visit our sticky on school selection for tips on identifying schools that are the right match for you based on your goals and expectations. Picking a school that is the right match on these dimensions is an important step on your part.

Good luck,
Lisa
