Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out. I agree it sounds like you've got an interesting story to tell.
I also agree that GMAT is your weak point for some of the schools on your list, especially your Quant score. Depending on what you mean by "technical field" hopefully you can demonstrate those skills via work accomplishments. Did you get high grades (A's) in any quant classes in college? Also what's your GPA? I didn't see that. If those are all strong, then I think the GMAT is less of a concern.
As far as schools, Columbia could be tough but makes since given your career goals. The others seem more reasonable. Many applicants interested in fashion/retail also look at UCLA and HEC Paris, in case you want to consider other options.
Good luck, and feel free to reach out if we can help with anything else!

Hi Kate!
Thank you so much for your help. My GPA is a 3.4/4.3...also perhaps on the low side. I took statistics, micro, macro, financial accounting, and a few sciences. Some of these I took without them being required, "for fun". I plan to try to explain my GPA/GMAT due to illness, taking more classes than necessary, and believe it or not the fact that GPA has very little importance in my industry. I'll add UCLA to my list for sure. HEC my only concern is that a one year program isn't enough time.
Thank you so much for your eval! I really appreciate it.
