Thanks Linda. Will my chances at Tuck or Kellogg improve significantly if my score is 750+ .
I am planning a 2nd GMAT by next month .

Also,Linda ..Which general management schools should I be looking at .

All these programs are general management programs, or can be general management programs, if that's what you seek.

Regarding the GMAT, yes a 750 GMAT would certainly improve your chances, provided preparation doesn't take away from the quality of your application. I'm assuming that if you apply R2, the GMAT retake will have no impact on the quality of your apps.

Best,
Linda
