It all depends on how strong of an application you can submit. There is no such thing as schools hate analysts :)

Depends on the VIP.
Schools welcome all kinds of backgrounds even sports, media and entertainment etc, so if say Tom Holland decided to pursue an MBA and has a reasonable explanation to it, it's highly unlikely that they are gonna reject spiderman for Willing to be a producer and start his own media brand.
Holistic review might get him off the hook for low GMAT as well

What about someone who is belonging from family business ?

Since this pandemic has changed everything people working in corporate BCG , Mckinsey . Do the university accepts Family Business candidates? Or they want some big brand on Indian candidate’s application?
