UW Foster Evening MBA Admission Chances

Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice on what my general chances are of getting into UW Foster Evening MBA next fall (2022) and how to improve.
Stats: Undergrad GPA: 3.1 Degree: UW Bothell BA in Business Administration GMAT: expected (650-700)
Here's my background:
I graduated from UW Bothell in Dec 2020 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. Due to a few years of major depression, my performance was not top notch to say the least but my grades significantly improved in the last year and a half with most business classes at above 3.5. I majored in finance and had internship experience in product management at a Seattle based startup so that's the direction I thought I wanted to go in. However during my last quarter I had taken an elective class where I came up with a startup idea and my experience developing that idea in class made me realize that I enjoyed what I was doing and is actually the career I want to pursue.
Since graduating, I decided to bootstrap my entrepreneurial venture and have started my digital health-tech startup that brings AI to fitness. I currently manage and lead a 10-person team and looking to launch my company early next year. By the time I apply I will have 2 years of work experience including my product management internship and my full time role as founder of my startup.
My reason to pursue the MBA is because I feel my academic experience pursuing the finance major in undergrad has not sufficiently prepared me for my career shift from getting a corporate job to starting my own venture (the two are very different). I realized I would really benefit from a solid background in entrepreneurship and management. Especially now that I will be expecting to grow my startup, the network and connections that UW Foster's Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship is able to provide would really help me. I also intend to participate in the Jones+Foster accelerator. The evening MBA would allow me to continue to work on my startup full time during the day and still develop my skills at Foster.
Other than my extra curricular involvement during my undergrad (I was President of a leadership club) I don't have much volunteer experience but will definitely look to gain some if it will improve my application.
I'm hoping to get any and all advice this forum may have for me.
