Thank you for posting your request here.
Your profile looks good and you have an opportunity to prove how you have been able to prove yourself as an individual (technical project PM) and as a leader/mentor in such a short time frame. I have always mentioned that experience in PM offers you a lot of opportunities to prove how you are a team person which is a very important quality for any future MBA candidate.
I would suggest that you target 730+ to be on safer side for the some of the schools that you have mentioned. Let me know once you have your GMAT score.
Cheers
