Cambridge
Oxford
Esade
Please let me know what my possibilities are the get into these schools.
Also, it would be great if you suggest other good schools that would suit my profile.
Appreciate your help!
I think you're targeting the right range of schools - obviously INSEAD and LBS are going to be stretches for you, but the other three are sweet spots so you've covered a decent range. I wouldn't go beyond 5-6 schools anyhow, so the only next step is to focus on executing the applications and hope for the best.
