With those scores and promotions, I'd say you have a shot! Quite frankly at this stage your age might be an issue- but you can't control that- and I'd still say you have a very solid chance. Depends on how compelling you were in your application- as I have seen good and bad applications from candidates- usually before they work with me (not so good) and after (much better). So hopefully you told your story well... and if you did- I think you can be competitive!
Thanks in advance for your valuable insights!
