I'm studying for the GRE right now, aiming for a ~320 score. I currently work in the airline industry working on commercial strategy and was accepted into a highly competitive rotational program coming out of undergrad. 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.
