Hey, you have a good profile. You can try applying to stern, Hass, Kellogg, or Ross as well. These schools have a great reputation for MBA in product management.
But then selecting a school is just not about brand reputation. It's cost of attendance, location, post-MBA jobs opportunity in that state or country.. quite a few things play a role in selecting a school. Your list above showcases 3 different countries in it. Relocation is easier said than to be done. I will suggest you make up your mind about where you want to work and apply accordingly. Applications submission is a daunting task, won't advise you to fill out more than a handful of school applications. Good luck.

A few thoughts on your profile evaluation and some queries VirajA:
Hope this helps some. Do reach directly out for any further discussions.
- The academic arc isn't quite clear. Since you've not mentioned your college name, presume it's not tier 1? How was your GPA there? The GMAT score is in the right range for top schools of course but pedigree matters too.
- The professional profile looks good given the nature of your work - both BA and Product Analyst roles are pretty close to business. Once again, without the name of your employers, it is tough to judge feeder brands which can matter for top schools. The post-MBA plan sounds about right broadly speaking.
- The ECs arc is decent in college. Not sure if by school you meant high school or undergrad? If latter, that will be helpful. The venture is something you should take full benefit from in your application.
- For reasons mentioned here, we don't speculate on school selection or chances. That being said, for LBS, international experience matters. Anything here? Tough to say much without a deeper dive but overall, the list does seem to have some balanced mix.
