Hey guys, just created an account and hope your responses will help me get on a right track.
I am 22 and I come from East-european developing country.
I have passed the GMAT a month or so ago and got 690 (85%). V-36 (80%) Q-48 (67%). AW - 5 (53%). IR 5 (54%).
(In the beginning my mock exam scores varied between 390-440, thus I feel I should settle with 690)
My undergrad GPA is 3.2. And I have finance/accounting work experience of around 2 years. Currently working for a leading audit/consulting firm.
I cannot really boast of any specific extracurricular activities or trophies or gold metals (while as I gather Business schools take these kind of "extra credits" into consideration).
I know my profile is hardly of top MBA's, but still I come across the stories of students with lower GPAs and lower GMAT scores getting into top schools. Thus, my question is the following,
What would be your goal if you were standing in my shoes? In your opinion what is the best case scenario that I should aspire to? Best MBA with my profile?
(I was thinking LBS, Johnson, Stern, Jones, etc.)
P.S. and what do you think about European BSs? Such as HEC, Imperial, Rotterdam, St. Gallen etc.
Every word will be helpful for me,
Thanks and good luck!

I'd aim a bit lower in terms of school selection (20-40 range based on US News & World Report) -- you'll have a shot at Rice, but schools like NYU will be a big reach. A school like USC will still be a bit in the reach category, although definitely not as hard to get into as NYU. I'd also aim more for schools like Oxford rather than LBS. HEC & St Gallen will be tougher but you'd have a shot at Rotterdam & Imperial. Other European schools to consider are ESADE & Manchester.
Generally speaking you want to hit & ideally exceed the average GMAT & GPA at a school in order to be competitive. A lot depends on the strength of your accomplishments at work too. The adcom wants to see applicants who have driven meaningful impact (e.g., increasing revenue, decreasing costs, launching & leading new initiatives, etc). Depending on how strong your accomplishments are, the adcom will put more or less weight on your GMAT score. You'll also want to be sure to think through your post-MBA career goals. Those are not only a way to differentiate yourself & a key part of your overall story but they're also the foundation for your why MBA/why our school argument.
I hope that helps!
