After my mba, I want to work in the consulting field, specialized in Marketing or even in the energy field.

My target schools are :

- UT Austin
- Georgetown
- Boston College
- University of Connecticut (UConn)

I would appreciate you give me others schools I could reach!

Thanks!

Thank you for the reply!

I will probably not apply to UT austin and try to apply to duke instead.

I will apply no later than round 2, and will probably not apply to more than 4-5 b-schools. What 5 schools do you advise me to apply for? In other words what school could be my "safe school" ?

Here is my list :

- georgetown
- Boston college
- university of connecticut
- duke
- USC ( Marshall)

Any other list?
