Hi Ss12848412, sounds like you've got some nice leadership and skills in the above...the stories I see popping in your recap are exactly the kinds of things that go into these application essays! You should have a lot of nice options of things to talk about. It looks like the only question in the above is: what other schools should I look at? A smart question, because your general category is very competitive, and you are aiming for schools that are potentially closer to the reach category. Also, some key details are missing in the above, namely where you went to school and how your 740 breaks down. But putting that aside, a good rule of thumb of what to consider if you are in a tough category is to start by considering schools 20-40 pts. below your score as target, and ones where your score matches as lower-chance schools because of the intense competition. That is just a first cut - then you need to consider size, location, teaching style, concentrations, recruiting into your target jobs, etc. plus perhaps STEM visa considerations. That takes thought and some research on your part to get to know the schools, but luckily there is a ton of info online (we have some on our site in our insiders' guides to top schools). From your list, I am guessing you prefer cities or busier environments? Here are some names to consider as target: Anderson, Marshall, McCombs, Foster. Ross, Johnson, Darden, Kenan-Flagler-Flagler and Fuqua might not be a location match? I work less on European schools, but you can certainly try Judge, Said, and HEC.
Good luck!
Warmly,
Julie-Anne
