My first piece of advice is to
focus your goals much, much more. They are too general. Think in terms of industry, function, and location. Once both of your focus goals and can connect the dots between your experience to date, your goals, and the programs you are applying too, you have competitive profiles for them, although your
verbal GMAT is on the low side..
I really can't recommend schools unless I have a clearer idea of what you want to do after you earn your degree.
Good luck!
