A few of the usual questions that will help me-

Why MBA Now?
What are your goals (long term and short term)?
Where (geographically) do you plan to work?

As usual, I cannot really tell you where you should apply but I can suggest some places to look:

Among the Near Elite Frontier take a look at Iowa, Wisconsin, and Florida.

Among the Near Elites, take a close look a Indiana and perhaps Georgetown

Among the Trans Elite consider USC and perhaps Carnegie Mellon.

Among the Elites take a close look at UCLA

Many Ultra Elites take a positive view of younger applicants but are difficult places to gain admission for virtually everyone. There are many choices here including Stanford, Chicago, Harvard, and Penn/Wharton.

Porscheboy is right- "Penn" refers to the University of Pennsylvania/Wharton
