Did I Beat The GMAT? Score - 710 (Q-50, V-35), 92 percentile

[Target_GMAT_AFC]

Hi,

I gave my GMAT exam on Thursday and scored a 710 (Q-50, V-35), 92 percentile . I was targeting 720+, so i am not completely satisfied with my score, but it's a reasonable score, so i am happy that the effort paid off.

Background

Education: : Computer Science Engineer
Work Experience:
>> 2 years in IT (Spent about 1.5 years working on Analytics)
>> 3 years in Consulting (Supply Chain & Operations Analytics)
GPA: 2.5

Post MBA, i want to continue in consulting for around 5 years and eventually move into industry (Manufacturing or Retail). So, i am yet to decide if i want to do a specialization in Supply Chain or do a generalized MBA.

I have selected the following schools in my GMAT exam:
MIT Sloan - Supply Chain and Logistics
MSU Broad - Supply Chain
Carnegie Mellon - Supply chain
London School of Business - General MBA
Indian School of Business - General MBA

I wanted to get some help on the following:
>> Is the GMAT score enough to be considered for the above schools? (I know a lot depends on the application, but i have read in a lot of forums that >= 720 and < 720 are rated in a different category)
>> What different factors should i consider in deciding to go for Supply Chain vs. General MBA?
>> Is there already any discussion thread available on the above points? If yes, could you guide provide the links for that?

Also, i'd be more than happy to share any information of how and what i studied to get to 710. I wasn't sure if it'd be of great help with my score.

Best Regards
