Hey there,
Well first of all, let me say that it's a weeee bit hard for me to evaluate your profile mainly because I don't have a clear understanding of your work experience. Now things look really good, and I like your managerial experience and all, but I just lack enough detail about what you did, how many people you led, what your main achievements are, etc. I also think your goals are very laudable, but would like to hear about them more in detail too.
Anyhow, obviously without a GMAT it's also hard to say where you can get in - if you really want to aim for Top schools than a 720 is basically the minimum score you will need (I mean a 700 might work too, but for now, let's say 720+). And this should be your main focus.
One thought about schools: If your aim is to go on scholarship, then you will likely have to comprise on school ranking. It's unlikely, even with a 770 GMAT that you will get offered a full ride at a Top 5 school, although the more you go down the list, the more possible this becomes. That, or one-year programs.
Aaaaaanyhow, probably the best thing to do would be to write me more detail here, or drop us a line on our website: https://bit.ly/mbafcGC
All the best,
Jon
