GMAT
GMAT: 740
Work Experience
3.5 years of total WE at matriculation
3.5 years of WE at Oracle Corporation, working as a high-tech enterprise software sales rep
Have a promotion. My first 1.5 years, I was a "Business Development Consultant" focusing on opportunities. Then I got promoted to "Enterprise Account Executive" with a closing role
Always exceeded quarterly quotas as a BDC. As an Account Exec, I am in the top 30% of my salesforce, closing over $1,000,000 over two years
I've received various "Oracle Excellence Awards" for closing business and boosting pipeline
I've had leadership roles. I was appointed to be a "Senior BDC" where I mentored new hires and ramped them up. I run a professional book club at work. I am the President of my hub's Toastmasters. I organize company-sponsored food drives for low income veterans in the SF Bay Area.
Extracurricular Activities
Have worked on political campaigns, like been the "field director" of a city councilman during his election. my focus was on municipal broadband and Clean Energy
Have a leadership position on a micro-finance nonprofit helping low-income entrepreneurs in Oakland
play electric guitar in a classic rock cover band
MBA Goals
I want to go into general management at a f500 company. Specifically, I'm looking at rotational/leadership development programs (but not finance), and marketing analytics. Also considering brand management.
What do you think? Thanks so much!!
I'm still not sure at what exact MBA schools to target, or how many. Vaguely, I'm aiming for the M7 and t15. Do you have any specific suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your profile. Really strong background here with top flight GPA and GMAT scores and good WE and ECs. Also your ability to overcome challenges in your past will help showcase a bit about your personality and perseverance. I think you can certainly target the range you have identified in particular I would take a look at Kellogg, Booth, and Tuck as good fits for you

Fully agree with Dozie. Very solid all the way around - there's not really much to say but GREAT JOB! I agree with the recommended schools but also feel you would be a viable candidate for HBS. If you are serious about Brand Management, indeed Kellogg would be ideal.
) and I don't think you need to apply much lower than that. Within the top 10, honestly all the schools are excellent for whatever goals you have, and so normally you would aim for the best ranked schools that also fit you personally and professionally. To know more about that, I wold need to know more about your choice - whether you prefer a larger or smaller program, rural or urban, East coast or West, more collaborative or competitive... etc etc etc.
