I gotta ask. Did you go to VCU? I ask because it's proximity to the Fed in Richmond.

No sorry, not VCU. Although I did live in Richmond for awhile when I worked for a former Governor. I have been in Chicago for the last 4 years. Did you go there?

Sure did.

Cool profile. Wish I could give insight on your chances but I don't really know.

You have a competitive profile for your R2 schools. You certainly have a chance at your R1 picks, but they are less likely admits. What do you want to do post MBA?

I'm planning to stick with management consulting, but want to leverage the MBA into a more strategy-based prestigious firm. I don't have a deep quant skillset (which is reflected in my GMAT score) but would like to get this piece of the puzzle. I just don't know whether I should flat out say to these schools that I want that b/c I don't have it or act as if I do. It's kind of a catch 22 b/c they are the best schools but you have to already be good at it.

Consider also programs like Darden, Duke, Cornell, Ross. They feed into the strat firms and are just a little easier to get into than Wharton, Kellogg et.al.

To improve your chances and show that you are working to improve your quant skills in preparation for b-school. Perhaps retake calc or statistics for business. A's in those classes could reassure someone skittish about your quant skills.

Best,
Linda
