Well sir,
the profile you sent was a bit sparse. We would need to know a bit more about your extra currics/community involvement, anything else that might you you a unique candidate, but in a quick glance with your industry and profile, I would say you have to change/add some schools. If I'm not mistaken every one of the schools you chose (or almost every) has an average GMAT that is 10-20 points higher than yours.

If you are looking to stay in healthcare (a good idea cause its a very strong industry) you might look into some of the top healthcare programs, like Ross, UNC, Minnesota, Haas, etc.
