Are there any top 20 schools with whom I'd be a strong candidate? Thoughts on where I'm most likely to get financial aid?
Also considering MPP/MBA dual degree - thoughts on best programs for that? Thanks!

Thanks for posting. Great job on the GRE Quant! Given the profile info that you've shared, it can be difficult to give a very confident assessment since the admissions committees will look closely at the accomplishments and impact you've had on the job during your 3 years of professional experience, and will assess your leadership ability and potential through your resume, recommendations, essays and more. However very broadly, given your scores and the info shared here, I would say yes I'd be optimistic about your being considered at top 20 schools. The top 5-7 or so will be extremely difficult, but beyond that if your applications are strong and you do have demonstrated impact, accomplishments and leadership potential, I think you can choose a handful of schools you feel are a good fit for you. As you might imagine, as you go down the list to schools with higher acceptance rates and/or lower stats, your chances increase, as do your scholarship chances. So including schools like UNC & Emory would improve options for scholarships. To discuss your situation in more detail, feel free to register for a free 30 minute consultation at your convenience, at www.mbamission.com/consult. Good luck with the process!
