Hi! It's difficult for me to tell an applicant where they should apply. So much of where you should go to school depends on things that are important to you. For instance, do you want to be in a city or on a campus? Do you want a flexible or mandatory curriculum? Do you want a school where they use the case study methods or lectures?

As for your profile, your GMAT is good but you will be competing against other applicants with similar backgrounds with much higher GMATs (the mid-700s). That is why you will really need to articulate your professional accomplishments, not responsibilities, and will have to showcase your leadership both at work and in your extra-curricular activities.

Best of luck,

Rachel Beck
