Thanks reaching out to me, I appreciate the opportunity. For I can answer would schools you should target I need to have a little more information about your background. I know that you are an environmental engineer and I respect that as I understand the rigor of the degree -- I used to be a mechanical engineer. However, I'm having trouble connecting what you do now, as an engineer, with your post-MBA goals. The issue I am having is twofold. I'm not quite sure what it is that you do it work right now and I'm not quite sure what you want to do with The Environmental Defense Fund. You could define the role more specifically he would really help now. Currently this is in limbo.
The other thing I need to know, and for that matter that you need to know, is what your actual GMAT score will be. So let's say this is 700. This is not a very compelling score as well. This in conjunction with the rest of your experiences -- at least what I know about them -- is not completely convincing.
However, I know you want an answer and I respect that. So here's my recommendation. Get a copy of the Aspen Institute's "Beyond Grey Pinstripes" report. This should detailthe amount of social and environmental stewardship an MBA program incorporates into their curriculum. This should give you an idea of where the opportunity lies with respect to your longer-term goals. Right now, I would look at Notre Dame, Cornell, George Washington, UNC, Wisconsin and even Ohio State.
