The recommendation is different if you get a 700 than if you get a 740. Let's be conservative at assume it's a balanced 700. (IF you do significantly better, please post again after you earn the higher score.)
You would have a competitive profile for Said, Judge, NUS, HKUST. In the U.S. look into Vanderbilt, Duke, UNC, USC, and CMU Tepper.
Best,
