and is there a way to get my MBA essays reviewed by a professional source?
Yep! That's what we do. That's why we are here.
So let's put it this way - the GMAT you're gonna get because you have to. The higher the better, of course, but you don;t need an Admissions Consultant to tell you that. The key here, and especially for a candidate like yourself, is to get out those stories, to inject your PASSION into what you are saying, while at the same time not being naive about them - realizing that they ARE B-Schools, and they have their own needs and their own interests, and to play up to them.
The schools you have chosen will of course depend on your GMAT, but if you can at least replicate your 96 score (hopefully get even 20 points better) you will be fine, you just may need to shuffle around the list a wee bit.
Well, that's that. Best of luck to you, and when you need, you just drop us a line, and we can have a look at those essays.
