Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I'm 31, male, 8+ years of work experience in education. I'm a teacher and am a founding faculty member at an independent school that has grown >500% in the six years since we opened. I've held a variety of leadership roles in the school (led teams, directed service program for the entire middle school, planned/led trip to rural China for 92 9th graders) and was part of the curriculum-design team from the beginning. I've created five original courses and have been tapped for other redesign projects by senior administrators. I have realized I don't want to be an administrator and it's time to move on.
I'm looking to transition into social-sector consulting, hopefully for McKinsey or Bridgespan. I can see other consulting work being interesting as well. In the long term, I'm interested in getting into the for-profit education space, as it's a $4 trillion/year industry worldwide.
I have a strict humanities background (undergrad was double major in philosophy/history of math & science) and hold a master's in education. I fall into the highly-verbal/super-analytical camp. My Myers-Briggs is an ENTJ, if that helps.
I know I'm not the typical b-school candidate, and I've heard from some people (a current Darden student, a recent Tepper alum, etc) that certain schools like HBS/Kellogg/Darden are more friendly to humanities folks, while schools like Haas/MIT/Booth might not be.
Is there truth to this? I want to make sure I'm targeting schools that are a good fit for people like me, and that I'm not missing out on potentially great programs. I'm currently looking at HBS/Darden/Kellogg/UCLA/maybe Stanford. Where else should I be looking? Should I take any schools off my list?
Thanks!
