Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't really nailed my career goals down but I would love to be a business owner (preferably an easy to understand business like an FMCG or food or the slightly more cryptic realty business.) To gain relevant business experience and the get an in-depth feel of decisions and choices that come along the way, I am thinking more than 5 years of solid consulting or GM experience should come handy. This should season me and help me become a better business owner when I am ready to startup something of my own.

I agree that you need to sharpen your post MBA goals. Please see "The MBA is a Means to an End.".

For now, however, look into Kellogg, Duke, Ross, Haas, Tuck, and Darden. Also a tip: for US graduate programs, your secondary school achievements are irrelevant.

Best,
Linda

I would say Duke, Darden, and Rossin no particular order.
