Should probably try HSW with your undergrad, those stats, and work history. Could see 50% chance at HSW. Would say you have a very high chance of the schools you listed.

Berkeley is the number one public school in the nation. With your current stats, a few of the M7 should bite. If you get the gmat up to 740-750, HSW should bite.

If you can get the 720 or even better, 740, you'll easily get Columbia and UCLA. Facebook, Female, UC Berkeley undergrad is all gold to them. Your GPA is probably right on the median, maybe like .1 lower?
