Please evaluate my profile for the following schools:
(As per my assessment)
Stretch: Yale, MIT, Duke, Ross, DardenThese stretches are stretches- just curious- what theme was it that had you to select these? Just trying to understand a possible theme and how we can use that theme to look at some other programs.
Target: Tepper, McCombs, Emory, ISB, UNCI have 15 yrs of UNC adcom and you are a stretch also at UNC- but if you interview well and can really explain why K-F, it will help. Tepper, Emory may be strongest bets.
Safe: Simon, Rice, Owen, Urbana-Champagne, Maryland.Reasonable. Most importantly- what do you want to do with your MBA- what is your target post MBA job? This will help inform school selection also.

Thanks StratusMBACounselor !
I am looking for schools with strong general management side.
About my Goals.
Short term Goal: Start as a product manager for a technology or an automotive firm (like GE) and then advance to a senior general management position with emphasis on strategy and leadership.
Long term Goal:: After working for about 8 to 10 years in senior management position, earning experience and establishing contacts along the way, i want to establish my own management consulting firm.
Also are my 'stretch' schools stretch due to average GMAT or some chink in my profile? I ask because i think my second shot at GMAT was below expectation (i was scoring around 710 to 730 in mocks). I am torn between Duke's EA with this score vs. another shot and R1. Any suggestions?
