Thanks Aerien and heartiest congratulations for making through Ross. It is a great school.
Location aint a consideration. I am looking for a domain shift from analytics (strategy consulting) to IB/PE, however, I have woven my story along management consulting as the path. As for schools, I want to go to top school only. Having said that, please feel free to let me know which schools you think I should target apart from those that I already did. Additionally, what are your thoughts on notching up couple of points on GMAT score? Would it change the situation significantly?
I am asking this since I have limited time and I want to maximize my ROI (time).
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Highly appreciate it.

I don't think you need to change jobs unless you want to. Analytics to consulting is a logical path through an MBA program.
Overall, you can get into a program. It's just a matter of figuring out what schools best align with your goals. You only applied to top 10 programs this year. If you branch out a little more, you could have more success with the process, especially given your 700 GMAT and ethnic background. If you increased that you'll have a better chance.
