Well, I guess more than the job switching (which, like you mentioned, I had no option other than knowing in advance things would be fine), my problem will be unemployment now and what kind of roles I'll take up now. I already have a student loan which I have paid only half till now. I'll have to move back to my home country, where front office jobs are rare in finance. So does that mean I'm just doomed as far as these schools are concerned?
For insight into applying while unemployed, please see
"Laid Off." Obviously, getting another job will make an enormous difference, but you can't wave a magic wand and make one appear.
It doesn't mean you are "doomed." It does mean that given the limited information provided, specifically your GGPA, average GMAT (for these schools), and spotty employment, I cannot say with confidence that I think you will be accepted at the schools you list above.
I'm sorry I can't be more encouraging, but that's how I see it. If you can afford to apply and if the downside of not getting an MBA from one of these programs is so drastic, why don't you apply to as many programs as you can without compromising the quality of your applications. You can divide them between rounds 1 & 2. Hopefully one of your target schools will say yes.
Best,
Linda
