Hi lich51644,
The process of applying to (and ultimately attending) Business School will require a big investment of time, money and energy on your part, so you really should make sure that the Programs that you apply to match your career goals/needs. There are a variety of factors that go into selecting the Schools that you'll apply to. Instead of just applying to Programs in which you might have a good chance to 'get in', here are some other things to think about:
1) Is there a particular company that you want to work for or industry that you want to work in? Certain degrees are more appropriate than others if you have a specific career goal.
2) What do you want your MBA to do for you?
3) Do you want to go to School full-time or part-time?
4) Are you willing to relocate? Are you comfortable with working through a program that is primarily online?
5) Are you going to be applying for scholarships?
Etc.
It's okay if you don't have answers to any of these questions just yet, but you really should try to define all of the important variables in terms of your goals, so that you can tailor your entire approach to getting into the best School that matches what you're looking for.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) Have you started studying for the GMAT yet?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Hi and Welcome to GMAT Club!
You can take a look at the Decision Tracker Filter and see if you can focus/zoom on the schools that fit your profile:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/decision-tra ... gpaScore=5
(note I put country of origin as US since you said LSU) and I filtered by "Admitted" category.
You will see some folks putting 640 and getting admitted to Booth - don't be disillusioned, that's the PT/EMBA programs and those have lower admission standards for GMAT score but higher standards for WE and Career.
Anyway, it is definitely possible to get into a number of programs, it just depends on your profile and work experience.
The better your work experience, the better the chances and opportunities, and usually you would ideally have about 4 years (3 is acceptable and 2 is the bare minimum). If you have 2 now, then you would have 3 by the time you matriculate. Is it 2 now or is it just 1 year at this point?
Best Regards,
BB.
