I'm hoping to get an MBA and pivot to MBB consulting, with the goal of eventually returning back to the aviation industry as an experienced leader. My geographical preference post-MBA is in the South. My target school list includes Duke Fuqua, Emory, Wharton, Ross, Kellogg, and HBS. I would appreciate some advice regarding the odds of attaining my target school list and how I should approach the upcoming application season.
