Hi there,

Thanks for writing in. With a 700+ GMAT and solid progress at top consulting firm like McKinsey, I think you have the potential to be competitive at all the schools you list. I encourage you to focus on your Why MBA? statement as well as doing the research at the individual schools to show why they are a good match for you. Your post-college community involvement can also help differentiate you from the pack, so focus on that in your essays where appropriate.

Best of luck,

Daniel Richards
