The 730 is in the strike zone for most of the programs for youI am unsure whether I can get a good B school with this profile.
I am targeting UCLA Anderson,Yale, Columbia and Duke with Indian School of Business as a fallback.
The key here is to show WHY these schools- for CBS I suggest going early decision. For Fuqua get to know them and same for UCLA and Yale.
