Greetings!!

Sorry to bring it up again with different package.

I have gone through agony of taking GMAT 3 times in the order of 690, 690 and 710. AWA from 5.0 - 6.0

The last attempt was in last week of November and hence I could apply to only 4 schools and that too in the later stages.
Round 2 - Kellogg,
Round 3 - LBS, Berkeley and CMU

Result: Wailisted - Kellogg and LBS, Rejected straight up from - Haas and CMU

Please advice based on my profile or am I aiming too high (top 5 MBA such as Harvard, Wharton, LBS, KEllogg, MIT)?
WIll taking the GMAT again and scoring would help much?
