After gaining this broad holistic experience my long-term goal is to lead as a CEO of an analytics firm, whether my own or a start-up that enables me to set its strategic direction and drive its growth.

Questions:
My concern is that I just have 2 months of experience in Business Analytics that to of providing POC, My firm did not get the Data Mining project so I had to shift back to GUI development. will this be a disadvantage?
To project myself as strong candidate I have already enrolled for business analytics courses and I plan to give base SAS certification test soon.

I want to Pursue an MBA in information technology and Analytics.
My university List is:
1) USC :
2) Gtech
3) UIUC
4) GeorgeTown
5) UC Davis
6) Rutgers

What are my chances of getting into these universities and what should I do to improve my profile to became a strong candidate for these universities.
Could you suggest any other universities.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
