Hi,

Thanks for your post. When thinking about where to apply to business school it's important to consider not only your post MBA goals, but also what else you want to get out of a program. I recommend considering location - big city or small town, as well as class size. Great programs for you could be anything from Darden,Duke or Cornell or Kelley. Again, I encourage you to think a bit more about your post MBA plans and what else you're looking for in a school in terms of size and location.

In general a GMAT score of 700 is needed to apply to top 20 programs in the US. Given your background and experience I would say this is true for you as well. Be sure to aim for an even split on your quant and verbal scores (minimum 80%).

Best,

Stacey
