Yes, you definitely have a chance. Booth feels the most likely, but you have the scores and an interesting enough profile to be given consideration for Wharton and Columbia.
If you are thinking about Columbia, I would apply somewhat soon given the program's rolling admissions policy. Coming from a competitive demographic, you should try to get reviewed earlier rather than later. If you are somewhat indifferent between these three schools, I would consider also applying Early Decision to Columbia. That'll boost your chances again.
What kind of private equity are you targeting for your post-MBA goal? You should be very specific and attempt to tie the specific type of PE investing to your background. That will be a good tactic to help you stand out rather than just talking more generally.
Hope that helps. If you would like to discuss in more detail, kindly reach out to us for a free consultation. We are currently taking clients applying for R1 of this year.
