Your GMAT will cover a multitude of "sins" from your past academic pursuits. Especially since it was more than 7 years ago, I wouldn't worry about it. b-schools are hungry for talented women (particularly from other countries) to matriculate, so you offer a great deal by coupling that diversity with a big GMAT score... you should do fine with your target schools so long as you can write your essays in a compelling, dynamic and visionary fashion.

Your GMAT score is great, and I do think you'll earn some points in your academic profile for your above average grades in graduate school. The target schools you listed don't feel out of reach to me but they are all pretty selective. UCLA may weight GPA pretty heavily in their rubric from what I've heard. Another factor that might count against you is that your age is above average for many of the top schools.
I have seen candidates strengthen their academic story by taking additional classes to prove they have the aptitude, but I'm not sure you have time to take additional classes. The question in admissions officers mind is whether or not you've truly seen the light as a student and are willing to work your *** off and be a solid contributor in the classroom.
I think your application success will hinge on the ability to demonstrate exceptional management and leadership potential, which can sometimes be hard to do if you've worked in engineering. Of course, the fact that you are a team lead bodes well.
Bottom line you're probably competitive at a school in the 15 - 20 range. I'm sure you'll be able to find a program that is a good fit with your career goals and where you will be happy academically, socially, and professionally.

Hi,
While GPA’s are part of the evaluation process, Your GMAT score more than offsets an average undergraduate performance.
We don’t think you should be unduly worried about your GPA scores. Rather the focus should be on articulation of your professional journey, your experience as student during UG and other EC’s. Most of universities you mentioned are definitely within reach. Please take care of the following so as to fend off any doubts in the minds of the reviewers:
1. Clear articulation of your goals and need for an MBA now – This will help move focus from your GPA’s to the MBA purpose and your passion for it
2. Highlight any academic achievement – School, College etc – That portrays your academic ability
3. Rest the usual – Articulation, concise content, clear vision
