Are you asking because you're not sure if you'll get in? You have the stats to apply to most top programs including Johnson. You've checked that box for them, and they won't be overly worried about you academic ability. (3.6 from peer school, 720 gmat). Also, You worked in consulting at one of the feeder companies. If your fear is due to your limited experience, don't worry... You should know 2 years is pretty common for consulting b-school apps. So congrats, you check those boxes.
Now it's all about convincing adcom that you both need an mba to achieve your goals, and that Johnson is the best place for you to do that. With Johnson fit is huge, so I'd visit if possible.
Good luck!
