Hi Apns,
I'm basing my assessment mainly on your GMAT score. I find that in most cases, business schools will not be able to overlook a low GMAT score.
So MIT, UCLA, and UNC may be too much of a stretch for you. But the other schools you have listed may be within your reach.
Sounds like you have great work experience, and great academic background.
Your quant score is actually lower than your verbal. I found it easier to improve quant score with practice vs. verbal score, but it sounds like you're not considering retaking it anymore.
Proper school selection should include a discussion regarding your post MBA career goals, and long term career vision, as well as why you want to pursue these goals.
Happy to offer a complimentary consultation if you are interested in discussing further.
