Hi pikolo2510, thanks for reaching out!
Your work experience sounds really strong. Product management is a hot field for MBAs as you probably know. I especially like that you've had exposure to different markets and countries and you've had leadership experience of both teams and full product launches. The two promotions are great too!
On your goals, since you're not making a big career switch, make sure you identify the key areas of growth during the MBA -- what skills will you build, what experiences do you need, etc. to be a better PM and eventually start your own venture.
You have a solid and well-balanced GMAT score too. It'll make some of the top schools like Tuck and Yale challenging, but those aren't completely out of reach. I think your best chances are at schools where your GMAT is closer to or above their average, and schools that are known for Tech and Entrepreneurship. I would definitely keep McCombs and Foster on your list -- those seem like very natural choices. Tepper, Duke, and UNC are good choices too. Have you looked into Cornell's Tech-focused MBA? That might be a good fit too.
Best of luck!
Kate

Thank you for the feedback Kate
Sure, I will check out the Cornell Tech MBA as you suggested and work on the other points you pointed out. Also i will be looking for a scholarship to fund my MBA program. Which colleges do you think I should apply to get a tuition fee waiver?
