Thanks for your post. To respond to your questions:
1. I think by "target" you mean what I call "stretch" or "reach." Consider. Stretch/target: MIT, Kellogg, Wharton; Competitive: Ross, CMU Tepper, Darden, Cornell, Notre Dame, UT Austin; Safety: Purdue, Broad, Penn State, Indiana
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "start up schools."
3. You chances of scholarships are better at safety schools than at the other categories, where they are slender.
4. A higher GMAT certainly improves your chances of acceptance, but it doesn't guarantee them. Furthermore if a GMAT retake comes at the expensive of the rest of your application and your test score doesn't go up, it could even hurt you. So yes, if your score improves, so do your chances provided that you hold constant the quality of the rest of your application.
5. The answer to that question is beyond both the scope of my knowledge and the scope of a forum post.

HI Linda,
Thanks for your reply.
Should I put my business experience (that I had side-by-side) on my resume? or just use it in my essays? (I have heard that it may be backfire on ethical grounds)
What would you recommend I do?
