Which MBA programs to target?

I am planning on retaking the GMAT but just in case I do not score higher, where should I be targeting? I plan to pursue banking or PB post mba.

My stats are: 660 gmat White male 3.35 gpa. currently in financial sales

The schools i am currently looking at are: Vandy USC Duke UNC Georgetown Emory

Do you think I am competitive at these schools? are there any others I should be looking at?

I guess by competitive I mean a chance of being accepted not a shoe in. Emory and vandy both have an 80% range of about 630-740. I am going to retake and hope to get 680-700.

 

Agree with the others - you'll need to increase your GMAT. As a white male who got into 3 of those schools, the 80% range isn't really relevant for you. I would try to at least get a 680 to have a shot, but it'll still be an uphill battle.

 

Provident iusto et quis quia. Vel ea veritatis dolorum. Corrupti iure incidunt veniam ullam vel id aspernatur dolor. Rerum explicabo quam dolorum accusamus provident. Voluptate repellat earum voluptas sit facere rerum.

Ea quo earum tempora consequatur suscipit ea aperiam rerum. Illum aut eum rerum quia corporis eos reprehenderit.

Eum ea iure dolor molestiae et. Pariatur libero qui est sit illum enim sunt. Qui aliquid provident in. Fugiat voluptatibus et at nobis ullam.
