Hey there,
I’d love to help you out but without more info it’s gonna be hard. What do you do? How quickly have you advanced? Do you have any leadership? What are your great achievements? Do you have notable community service or extra curriculars? Which school did you graduate from?

All of these will play important roles in your evaluation.
Best,
Jon

Nice profile here, but given your tough competitive demographic, you will probably want to break 700 to give yourself the best odds. As currently constructed you are probably looking at schools at the bottom of the top 25

Hi there! I worked with someone coming from a similar work experience background as you, and he had GREAT leadership and teamwork stories, which of course goes a long way. So that's in your favor! You have a bit more work experience than is typical for full time programs, so you'll want to be strategic there in explaining why the MBA makes sense for you. And unfortunately, as noted on this thread, your GMAT is not very competitive for the top 15 schools given that you are coming from a very competitive demographic. So, if you're looking at the top US schools (my area of expertise), I'd recommend that you shoot for a higher GMAT score and then take it from there.

Best of luck!

Where would the school ideally be located? In the US? Europe? Asia? Also, what is your post-MBA goal? Answers to those questions could give me an idea of what to suggest at least, even though I am missing quite a lot of detail in order to be able to evaluate the strength of your profile itself. (If you want a more thorough check of your profile itself I would recommend this tool: https://aringo.com/mba-admission-chances-calculator/)
