Take the GRE/GMAT and we'll be better able to tell you which programs to apply to.

i would not say there is any problem with quantitative part in gre, but not pretty sure about the verbal section. i would aim at 155-162 range for verbal section. which program would u recommended now?

If you have a 99th score in the quant section, go for programs such as baruch, cmu, columbia. Generally, the closer you are to new york, the better.
