MBA Info
Goal of MBA: To gain quantitative and qualitative skills, foster a deeper network, but more importantly use my experience in a markets role to make the leap and become an investor in the healthcare sector, whether that's IB to PE or Consulting to PE, etc.. I see where Sales and Trading is trending now and I know it's a role in which I can't make a long term career.

Hi, and thanks for writing! Where would you want to be based geographically post-MBA?
Based on your information, I think that HBS and Chicago are likely reach schools, with the others potentially within range if you make a strong case for why the schools are right for you. A few others to consider are Stern, CBS (reach), and UVA. Your GMAT score is solid, but given the competitiveness of your demographic, bumping it up would be beneficial. Also, have you been involved with any post-collegiate extracurriculars? While not absolutely required, it would strengthen your profile as well.
Hope that helps a bit! Let me know of any other questions
