Hey All,

Would love to hear your thoughts around my relatively standard background.

Schools I'm considering:
I'm aiming to apply to 4 schools in R2. I have decided that I will definitely be applying to Duke Fuqua and Michigan Ross.
For the last 2 schools, I am considering Chicago Booth, Northwestern Kellogg, Dartmouth Tuck and Yale SOM. Depending on my GMAT retake, I will decide which 2 schools here I have the best shot at.


Any thoughts/feedback is appreciated!
