Mate I would recommend you also pay attention to UK schools. They are indeed great for you since you are based in UK. Maybe you won't even have to move. My Advice - try Oxford/Cambridge. They are really great and I can say it from my personal experience, their average GMAT is 670-680ish, no more, so 710 is pretty competitive there!!! If you make a strong application and APPLY EARLY there is a good chance you might even get a scholarship. LBS is good too, but I hear they do not give out much scholarships and culture is completely different there. Nothing compares to Oxbridge culture and its beauty. They have pretty good ties with consulting companies and MBAs get especially good 1 to 1 attention. You'll have a very good chance of getting a job in London afterwards.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me. If you liked the post, please consider kudos.
