Hi! I plan to apply 2nd round for Fall 2023.
Background:
Undergrad: Top 50 in US - private uni in south
Major: Finance
WE: 5 years at my family business, my family is the third generation to run it. It is a franchise with 150+ locations nationally. I manage 40 locations but also do a lot of different tasks for the company (corporate trainer, HR duties, even a bit of marketing).
ECs: leadership in undergrad (CFO of sorority, founded a food desert awareness club that still exists, significant volunteer work), advisor for sorority 3+ years post-graduation, and became a certified yoga teacher. Airbnb superhost.
Stats:
Age: 28 F
GPA: 3.75
GRE: 320 (157 V, 163 Q)
Race: White
WE: A little over 5+ years when applying
Targets
Targets: Fuqua, McCombs, UNC, Rice, Darden
Reach: currently none but maybe Dartmouth or Northwestern
Why MBA
Would like to get out of the family business and pivot into Consulting. I think the business gave me a lot of amazing tools and exposure so I can be a great consultant. However, changing industries now would be very hard to do and I believe and MBA can help me build my toolkit and refine my skills so I can successfully embark on my new career.
Thank you for the feedback! One note - I will not take the GRE again. I studied for over a year and a 320 is the best Im gonna do lol I know my verbal is weak but I am hoping its still ok for my target schools.

Thanks for posting in our forum!
I think you will be a very interesting candidate. Your list makes a ton of sense, especially if you want to target consulting. You don't want to make it too long as I assume you're going for R2 this year and so time is a limiting factor.
I would argue Rice and UNC are probably more or less safeties. Have you considered Michigan (Ross), Cornell (Johnson) and Berkeley (Haas)? Those are other good consulting-focused schools that would seem to be in your range.
