Hi TheSeeker60 - thank you for reaching out! Ideally I would want to know a lot more about you before figuring out what schools are the best fit for you. For example, I would love to better understand your goals. Are you a strategic consultant now? It sounds like you want to stay in consulting, is that right, and is that true for both the short and long term? Are there specific areas you would want to focus on or develop while getting your MBA?
You are older than the average MBA applicant, so that may be a concern at some schools. Does your promotion within five years put you among the highest performers at your company? Do you have any current ECs (such as the literacy fest, perhaps)?
I also see that you already have an MBA (I presume in India?). Schools vary as to whether they will even accept applicants who already have an MBA degree.
I think depending on your answers, your GMAT and profile make you a compelling candidate for schools in the bottom half of the top 25 to 30 MBA programs in the US. But I think specific schools will depend on your specific aspirations and also whether or not they accept candidates who already have an MBA degree. Sorry I'm not being more prescriptive, but I hope this helps!
