Notes:

I attended a top 10 liberal arts college (think Williams, Amherst) and was the captain of a sports team. I spent the last 4 years in Big 4 Consulting and currently a senior associate at an MBB. I know that my GMAT is low- only took it once in December because I wanted to get my applications for round 2 instead of round 3.

Given it sounds like you rushed your GMAT prep, it might be smart to get the test retaken, in a month, with Strong prep going into the retake? Even without a better GMAT score, the rest of your profile may well get you options at your target programs, but a higher score absolutely will help. May also help down the road, with consulting recruiting? Did you already interview at Tuck? (0)
