Your profile is exceptionally strong overall. Knowing the breakdown into Q & V for the 720 could be useful as the individual scores have overall bearing on how adcom perceives your profile.
With the exception of the age factor (if it is indeed a concern for certain schools), I see no reason why you wouldn't receive an interview invitation from Top 15 schools, and even potentially from within the Top 10. Given that you already hold an MBA and have a lot of experience in business and finance, you might find that one-year business programs or other MBA options are more suitable for your circumstances. The admissions committees will expect a thorough explanation of your decision to pursue a full-time two-year MBA program. Speak with alumni who have made similar transitions, develop your insights, and earn some brownie points from the schools by speaking about it in your applications and interviews. How you execute the application will be the difference between a T25 and an M7 admit.
My top recommendations would include Columbia (you might want to explore the J-term), Booth, Stern, Haas, and Ross. Kellogg's one-year program could also be a compelling option to explore. You may stretch to Stern and Wharton as well if you are really ambitious. I see chances of very impressive scholarships from Top 20 schools like USC Marshal, UCLA and others.

Thank you! My GMAT breakdown is total 720 Q48 V41. Took it a while ago so will redo.
I'm having some difficulties securing letters of recommendation with the short timeframe. Given that the deadline for round 1 is in 2 weeks, should I try gathering everything and submit in round 2, or do you know any schools that don't require rec let as part of the package?
Thank you so much for your time!
