Hi
arpit777,
A 700+ GMAT FE score will be stellar; however, that your GMAT will coincide with your employment gap is going to raise questions that you will need to candidly address in your application.
Barring the current gap, you have a lot working for you. So, your chances really depend on how well you bring all your strengths together in your essays and how smoothly you explain your gap.
All the best!
