Hi! i think those schools can be in the cards, assuming a strong GMAT and execution of your essays/recs. Your academic background is great with high GPA + student athlete + recent CFA. Your experience level is a little light compared to many other MBA applicants. Have you advanced in your job? Had significant leadership experience? If not, it might make sense to wait another year. That would also give you plenty of time for GMAT and ability to apply in Round 1.
I would aim for a 720+ GMAT given the level of schools you are considering.
Make sure you're also researching /engaging with your target schools. A good place to start is to check out our free Insider's Guides:
