Hi, Congrats on your excellent GPA! It also sounds like you have a really strong track record from your time at Deloitte. Yes, schools really do value a family business background, as students often bring experience of different niche industries and additional leadership to the classroom. In addition to the colleges you’ve mentioned, if you’re looking outside the US you might also want to consider INSEAD and HEC in Europe.
