It is unclear whether you completed the CA course. If yes, that's a strong point in your favor. Another huge positive is your international experience.
A few negatives:
Age is on the higher side for your chosen programs
The career progression that you have portrayed here seems to indicate a lack of clarity in what you wanted to do with your life. Dropping a year in college, pursuing entrepreneurship and then going back to an accounting manager job isn't a linear career progress. It's something that needs to be explained carefully and positively in your applications.

You also need to be smart in your school selection considering your age and experience. We would love to understand your profile in more detail to give you customized advice. For a more detailed 1-1 strategy session, please write to [email protected] or fill the form at http://www.admitexpert.com

Good luck!

Hey, this seems like a great profile for a top school, but I believe more in-depth review would be required to get an idea of the odds to get into the schools
