Hey daviesj,
Thanks for reaching out to me. Where are you located? US, EU, India?
Additionally, can you clarify your goal? Are you looking for a middle office position within banking, or are you looking to move into a client facing role? It's hard for me to short-list your schools because I don't know what your goals are -
specifically. My point is that you and I have a fairly good understanding of your background, but I certainly know little about your goals. An MBA is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all degree and you have to pick and choose the school that is right for you
and your goals. I would view a particular program as a conduit or bridge to your short and long-term goals. Some bridges will be better than others. Some of the bridges that are better, will not let you pass. Other bridges that may not be as appropriate, may not be the ones you want to take even if they accept you at the toll booth.
What I can tell you is that your scores are very borderline - both GMAT and TOEFL. The best thing you can do at this point - since it is so early in the season - is to retake the GMAT. Until you get those scores up, you are going to have a problem getting into a top 15 program - which is what I am assuming you are really trying to do.
Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti
