Hi,
Wondering if you are aiming for a full-time MBA or for a masters in management - you'd be eligible for both, just the timing of the application would vary vastly. Also, are you planning to apply for deferred admission? Deadlines for most of these intakes are between April 10 and April 28th- so this can also be in your consideration.
Have a look here for the deferred MBA deadlines:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/deferred-mba-admissions-application-deadlines-essay-questions-379662.htmlRegarding your profile, you seem to be starting from a good place right now. The McKinsey name will be a great plus on the resume. Moreover, it would enable great work-related opportunities and a steep learning curve. That you were able to crack so many offers at the topmost firms shows that there is definitely outstanding about you and that should start to reflect in your work experience as you build it over the years.
A 730 GMAT would be average at some of the top MBA programs, and I would encourage you to retake before you actually apply. You haven't highlighted your ECAs in the description. if you don't have many, i would suggest you build on those over the coming years. It's a little too early to comment on the goals.
On the whole, assuming an upward career trajectory going by your past record, I'd be bullish on your chances of getting into top MBA programs.
