I’m exploring a transition where I can combine my finance background (~3 years) in leveraged credit trading with the leadership and project management skills I’ve developed in education (currently in fifth year). In finance, I traded across capital structures in the renewable energy sector; in education, I’ve led fundraising initiatives and managed a capital improvement project. I’m now looking to build on these experiences in a career that allows me to contribute to large-scale renewable energy projects. Additionally, I am married and have a daughter. I am taking the GMAT on October 26th and then again three weeks later. I hope to score in the 93-95th percentile.

Assuming good ECs and demonstrated leadership examples, you may score good chances with the schools selected. Essentials include a GMAT of 675+ (although I would prefer 695+ for chances at merit scholarships), a compelling narrative of your story in your essays, and of course an overall standout application.
I would also add MIT& Booth, and maybe even McCombs & Cornell on the safer side.

If East Coast is absolutely essential, a few other decent choices can also be helpful as safe ones. Once again, all this is assuming the already stated above does come down well on paper
