Hi,
I would like my profile to be evaluated and the list of schools that I could probably look at for a 2018 admit. I am not sure as to where my profile exactly stands and would like to know if I have a chance at the top 10/20 B-schools in the US.

I am looking for MBA colleges with strong consulting placements or good Finance background to explore my CFA knowledge. I am fine with either North American and Asian colleges.
I understand that I have missed the deadlines for R1. Hence, would need to rush my applications.
For initial shortlist, I was thinking B-Schools like Ross, Cornell, Rotman, ISB, Emory, Kenan Flagler, McCombs, NTU, NUS, HKUST... I need help in refining the list. I am open with suggestions to other colleges apart from these. Would like to know which all colleges can be fall in band of ambitious, reach and safe bands.
Thanks
