Hey harivars,

Thanks for posting! With a 710 GMAT and what appears to be an interesting background, I'd say on the surface you put yourself in a good position with a school in the 10-20 range. Tepper, Cornell, and Texas could be good targets...Fuqua and somewhere like UVA as reaches. Rice/Vanderbilt/UNC more on the safe side. As with all applications, what matters the most is how your frame your story and tie what you've done in the past to how you want to make an impact going forward!

Regards,
