700+ for your education background must work fine. It's a complete academic package.

Hi, and thanks for writing! Without GMAT it's a bit challenging to weigh in on your target schools, but a 720+ on GMAT will be important for putting you in range for those programs. It sounds like you're building good work experience - seek out as many leadership opportunities as possible (perhaps mentoring analysts/associates). Same in your extracurricular activities - strive for impact within your church involvements. Aside from that, make sure that you take the time to thoroughly research the programs - conveying fit and executing a strong application also lead to success. Hope that helps a bit
