Really need some guidance, appreciate if you guys can help=)
I took my undergraduate education in Singapore (a tiny little Asian city, barely a country);
Majored in Accounting and second majored in Finance;
Worked in a Big 4 auditing firm for 1.5 years as an auditor and found auditing/accounting is really not my cup of tea...
Switched career and currently working in a boutique credit research firm, doing research on Asian high yield bonds;
My long term career goal is to research on either equities or fixed income on the buy side.
My GPA is a shame, only 3.1 for all modules and maybe 3.2 for major courses; GMAT is 730+6;
I know I probably have little chance to get into a decent B-school, but it has been my dream to take an MBA from a good university in the States, so I decided to apply anyway. My only concern is my boyfriend (whom I'm gonna marry), who has a solid job here in Singapore and will not be able to go to the States with me for the next two years. This factor has prompted me to aim at only the best programs because of the huge sacrifice I may need to make.
Now I'm just wondering if these programs are still far too difficult for me to get in:
Chicago Booth, NYU Stern, Columbia, UM Ross, UV Darden and Georgetown
Thank you in advance!

Don't let anyone tell you that you don't have a chance -- anything can happen! Your GPA is not bad, either -- it's lower than most medians, but in many cases I think your GMAT score would make up for it (so long as it's pretty well balanced). As with other success stories here, a lot rests on your personal narrative and persuading adcoms that you bring to the table something valuable, something different from all others. Mind you, I was a 2.8 and 710 (with a low-ish quant score) and got into Ross and W/L at Booth... so again, anything's possible I suppose.
From easier to more difficult, my guesses in terms of your admission viability:
Georgetown ------- Ross ------- Darden -- Stern -- Booth/Columbia
I don't know much about CBS but I hear they love early decision applicants if your heart is set on that place.
