What MBA programs am I realistically looking at?

I am about to apply for MBA programs and I am wondering what kind of programs I am realistically looking at getting into: HSW? M7? Top 20?

The following is my profile:

Age: 27

Undergrad : Berkeley Engineering 3.7.

GMAT: 760 (Perfect Q)

Designations: CFA, FRM, CAIA

Work experience: 5 years of work experience, all at a top long-only AM in the 500-1T AUM range. Worked in asset allocation strategy for 2 years, now quantitative FI research for 3 years. Just promoted to VP, one of the youngest VPs within the investment staff outside of the trading desks.

Extracurricular: NONE, I am a workaholic.

Motivation for MBA: want to switch to fundamental bottom up research, MBA is pretty much a prereq for that side.

There are not that many people I can ask around here. It is a taboo to talk about MBA on the quant side. Highly frown upon.
