Thank you for your post and for sharing your background. Congrats on an excellent GMAT score! To assess your admissions chances, I do require a bit more information:
- Undergraduate performance: what's your class rank? what's the rank of the institution you attended?
- Post-MBA goal (short and long term)

While you have an excellent profile, without the aforementioned details it's difficult to assess your chances. If you prefer a private conversation, please reach out.
