I am targeting the below schools:
Congrats on a very strong profile. I see you having the potenial to be competitive anywhere. I caution you on the 1Y programs that you lose the valuable option to do internships and experiment and that this could come back to bite you in the long term job search. So I prefer for you Kellogg and Cornell 2Y programs, and the others on this list all good targets for you.
Cornell 1Y, Kellogg 1Y, Columbia, Stern, Wharton, MIT, Ross and Booth
Please let me know your thoughts
Regards,
Jay
