Notes:

Would really appreciate any advice on my profile!

Have worked in consumer insights for 4 years (3 promotions, currently at a manager level), with a focus on marketing campaign evaluations for global CPG and Media brands. I'm pursuing MBA as I want to pivot into a Marketing role client-side, continuing to work with CPG brands.

I'm retaking GRE soon as I got stressed and messed up the Quant section a bit. Got 165 on Verbal, aiming to get 320 - 325 overall.

Due to family reasons, I'd have to stay within a commutable distance to New York. Columbia and Stern are my reach schools. I'll be applying to Rutgers, CUNY, and Fordham as my safety net. Thinking of applying to Yale as well but I'm not sure how it would work with commuting. Are there any other options I should consider?
