I want to add - before somebody accuses me of being excessively elitist - that Ross awards 4.3 for A+’s and therefore has somewhat more grade inflation than does Wharton. So there’s an element of contextualizing the academic record as well.

That depends - did you go to Ross or Wharton? (You don’t have to answer, just be aware that it might influence the relative strength of your application in the eyes of adcoms)

Stern - no grade inflation, known for the curve actually

Avg at Columbia and Kellogg is slightly below 720, the others in between 720-730. You're in the range, I would say
