Hi,

You have superior acads and your professional background looks pretty notable. Apart from the schools you have short listed, you should also target b-schools like: Wharton, Booth, Haas, Tuck, Columbia, NYU-Stern, Darden, Ross, UCLA & Kenan-Flagler. As the average GMAT Score for these B-Schools fall in between 620-760 range, you have possibility of being accepted. You can also try your chances in http://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool

You should start working on your application essays & interviews where you can write about your professional achievements, leadership skills & short/long term goals. A well presented and perfectly written essay is absolutely critical to make a strong case for yourself during the final interview.

Do let me know in case of any other assistance.

Cheers!!
