That's a great GRE score and having consulting as your pre-MBA industry is a great help for your admissions and recruiting. Not sure if you have other MBA programs on your sights but most Top 10 US MBA programs will have good Consulting opportunities. E.g. Booth and Johnson are really strong for finance as well as consulting.

Hey @raijoh1234,
You have strong academics along with a good GRE score which will be a big positive for your application. If you intend to pursue an investing role in the long term, then I would suggest spending a couple of years on Wall Street with a large Investment Bank since they tend be feeders into PE/VC/Public Market roles over consulting firms. East Coast schools like Stern, Johnson, Tuck And Fuqua can be considered outside CBS and Booth. All of them will also be target schools for large consulting firms.
Technology focused entrepreneurship will be stronger for the West Coast schools, if you are evaluating tech enabled startups in the long run.
Hope that provides some clarity? Do reach out to us at info@thembaedge.com for a detailed discussion.
