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.
