Hey dude,
Good to hear from you.
So far o good. You are int he right industry with the right GMAT and GPA.

The only "neg" I can see is a nonIvy school, but as long as its well known and you have other goodies, you should be fine.

I would need however more info about work, ECs and volunteer work (which are all the crux) to understand where you stand in relation to top schools. But basically, yeah, sure with a great application, Top 10/15 schools is where it's at!

If you have any other questions or would like to provide more in depth info for a deeper profile evaluation, don't hesitate, dude: https://bit.ly/mbafcGC

Best,
JF
