Profile review please! For Wharton, Stanford and Columbia R2
GRE: 320 160q 160v (do I need to retake / aim for 324?)
GPA: International equivalent to 4.0 for undergrad (business + finance). MS in innovation management (3.7) (Russell Group university)
ECs: Mentoring, college society VPs, student experience committees / college advisory boards, study abroad. All telling a cohesive story about education
International: Female. Black. Citizenship of Caribbean country and European country (both very underrepresented)
Experience: 2 years PMM at FAANG, 3 years of previous experience (5 total). Never promoted but run a side hustle consulting big name clients. Increased salary signficantly (300%) when changing companies. Last job was at a startup working closely with the CEO and I built out a new client offer. Concerned about the lack of promotion. Does it matter? I have a difficult (and bad) manager so I don't think I'll get promo before app. reviews in Jan / Feb. Trying to move teams for promo but it's not guaranteed.
Goals: I want to go to a ed-tech startup doing StratOps after....and then become a cofounder. This works as my background so far, even at FAANG is in mostly education (comms) / social justice / working with non-profit clients etc.

In terms of promotions, I think as a PMM at FAANG, it is pretty understandable that things have been somewhat dry the past 12 months with layoffs and other concerns in Tech, so it would not be a big concern in my opinion; however, you can address in an optional essay and just say that your team is really hard with promotions type of thing.
I think a strong profile overall and there is a chance the score won't really play a big role in the decision but it is a risk that can play in several ways. 324 would be better and likely good enough taking your under-represented status.
