Profile Evaluation. Which MBA schools should I target?

Hello,

I would like to know which school I could to aspire to get into. I am looking for an MBA in the united states and I would like to work there after so I looking at STEM certified mba's been Rochester my first option. I wouldnt mind taking a non-STEM mba if there are good chances of landing a work (for more time than de 12month OPT).

I would like either to change my career path and work in PE/VC or to work in the same sector I am in but in an higher position and in the USA.
