Trying to determine which schools I should target. I'd concentrate in finance and real estate. May cast a wide net, but am highly interested in some of the Top 10:
Education: Transferred into a school like Emory/Duke/Vanderbilt, Finance and Real Estate major with a 3.1 GPA (3.2 GPA when taking into account my freshman year at another school). Major GPA was a 3.2. Lower grades were a result of family matters, which occurred junior and senior years. Modest involvement with the school's endowment fund, corporate finance research and a club sport. Held a couple of leadership positions (non-president). Spent freshman year at a small school in New England.
Work: Three and a half years so far. Two and a half years at a global real estate private equity firm. Includes a promotion to Sr Analyst after two years and some unique side projects. Left the firm four months after my promotion for an Analyst opportunity at a REIT. Help develop and improve firm's investment tools and am usually called upon to fill gaps when turnover occurs. Have modest analyst training experience on my end, as well as financial modeling coursework that I chose to undertake to make life a bit easier.
GMAT: Currently studying for the GMAT.
Recommendations: I've kept in touch with most of my past coworkers and my bosses (SVPs and MDs). They've said positive things about me. I think my recommendations would be good, but need to put more thought into who to choose for this and how to approach it.
Thank you in advance.

You're welcome! Good luck!
. This matters far more than what their title is. Try to pick two people who will offer slightly different views on you too. Ideally one of these will be from your current direct supervisor, but if that's not possible, that's fine and you can explain why on the application.
