McKinsey Business Analyst for 3 years, working on multiple projects such as credit, collections, business strategy, commercial excellence, risk, wholsale banking. In those projects, my workstreams achieved USD +10 Million incremental net income (sum of all). While working on this engagements I had the chance to connect directly with CxOs, who were the main stakeholders of my workstreams.
Seems you have already applied to the MBA programs listed above.
Frankly speaking, your GMAT scores are on the lower side, and admissions to these super selective programs may pose challenges. We also have no information on how top tier your UG college has been, what percentile your GPA ranks you in. Also, much of the results would depend on how compelling your overall story came out to be, what your Extra Curriculars are, and whether you have been able to leverage them to show demonstrated examples of leadership, and such other traits that AdComs of super selective programs like to see in their candidates.
While your WE at McKinsey will prove to be a positive, staying at the Analyst position for 3 years may be a red flag. It is important therefore to project your resume to show accomplishments that show your initiatives beyond your scope of responsibilities.
