Hi, and thanks for writing! Given your profile details, I'd say those schools are likely a reach (though no means out of question for you) - of the list, I'd say Georgetown is in your target zone, and Tuck is more accessible as well IF you show very strong interest in the program and its culture. Do you have any outside involvement (extracurricular activities/active hobbies?) This can boost a profile as well. For each program you apply to, make it VERY clear why it is a strong fit for you based on your research. A few others in the U.S. you might consider (which are a bit more in your range, though still competitive) are Johnson, Fuqua, and Darden.
Hope that helps!

I'm really curious to hear your thoughts with regards to my chances, considering that my GPA and GMAT are on the lower end. I have poured a lot of time and love into my essays and am hoping to really use that to drive things in my favor. I'd love to hear a realistic take about my chances, and any tips you would be willing to share with me, for stacking the cards in my favor. Thanks a tonne in advance!
