Hi adebonis,
You have got a great profile. Starting with stats, your undergrad GPA and GMAT are low, though, with your work-profile, you have a good shot at SAID which greatly stresses the professional profile of a candidate. But for LBS and INSEAD I think you need a 650+. Also, if I am not mistaken, you have done an EMBA, right? So, why do you want to do an MBA now? You need a very strong reason for this if you have done EMBA.
Now, evaluating your work experience, I can clearly see a mature leader in you, a good graph of career progressions, and considerable international experience. I like your role at Rio Olympic games and the recognition there (getting an unqualified audit). Also, your work at the government agency is impressive. Your ECs, too, are pretty interesting exhibiting high-level leadership. I especially liked the fact that during your college you financially supported yourself and your family, it shows a very mature person from an early age and can bring a strong story out. But being an older applicant, you especially need to articulate your post-MBA goals very detailed and concrete, so take care of that. I would want to know about the EMBA thing better. Other than this, you have got a fair shot at your target schools. The most important part of an application is knowing yourself and your actions fully and coming up with an amazing, motivating story. You are welcome to hop on a call sometime this week to discuss your chances in detail. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Cheers!
