Your current role and entrepreneurial success sound exciting. Your consulting and management role with PwC may also be strong, but I would want to hear more about the nature of that work. You are in the right age range but I am concerned about your GMAT verbal score since it is dragging down your overall score and makes the admissions committee question your ability to make arguments, draw conclusions, and communicate with the class.
