Thanls for your insights. See, my future goals are quite clear. I want to switch from Operations to Consulting and work with Big Ones - like Mckinsey, BCG, Goldmansach, PWC. What I want is to get an opportunity to solve various decision making dilemmas of various industries, this way I will get to learn more about various industries and strategical thinking. Now can you help me which colleges should I target taking into account my profile, GMAT score and future aspirations.

It's going to be tough convincing consulting firms that your background is a good fit---real estate and construction is pretty niche, and has little to do with corporate strategy. Plus your target firms do not recruit at 2nd tier schools and yet your GMAT puts you in a 2nd tier school category. You would need to increase your GMAT score in order to position yourself ideally for your target levels. Then you could go for schools like UNC, Virginia, or Duke, for example.

Sir
I have already given gmat 3 times spending my all efforts and time over 2 years, but my score seems stagnant at the same level. I think now I should apply. Can you suggest some good colleges given my experience and GMAT score.
