Please assist to evaluate my profile:

-graduated from Carleton University, Canada with a Bachelor of Commerce (4 year program, honour, average GPA of B-
-Returned to Hong Kong and worked in UBS (back office, wealth management) for 20 months.
-Taken GMAT 3 times with the last result being 690 (Q49, V34).

I wish to apply for a MBA or Financial Engineering program (either one). Could you please advise which schools I should attempt to apply given my profile and the application deadline? Many thanks!

Any advice is welcomed! Thank you!

your profile is way too light on specifics to recommend schools, but i would say with good acacdemic record, your good GMAT score and international work experience, you should be shooting for a top tier (top 25) business school. you need to assess your career goals and your desired learning style and environment before you choose a list of target schools. Visiting schools with a good reputation in the areas you are attracted to (industry or curriculum wise) is a good start.

actually my undergraduate GPA is relatively weak, only at B-, 70% to 73%, (sorry, I forget to included this above).

Is there any good website that provides information regarding the reputation of the program and the application deadline? many thanks.
