Hey there,
Thanks for asking. Well, I would have to see your resume and get some more info form you about your work experience to give you a real evaluation, but based on what you wrote, the two schools you choose will likely be stretches for you. At 32, with only four years of work experience in accounting, plus coming from a relatively overrepresented country, it looks as if you are going to do an MBA to "Get back into the work force) which may not be strong enough a reason for top schools who can pick and choose from thousands and thousands of candidates.
You do have a great GMAT though, so that will help you out, but I would suggest looking at schools out of the Top 10 to have good chances of acceptance.

Hi Jon
Thank you for your reply. I also wanted to add that i have 6 years of experience (4 as an auditor and 2 as an accountant). But reading your response, i think the additional 2 years would not likely make a difference. Thank you for being honest.

Hey, well look, it always depends on what you have DONE in those years, and how successful you were, especially to others relative to your age and position. Now, I'm not saying Wharton or ISB are impossible, but that you should definitely not solely limit your strategy to those, because they are long shots given your pool and your age. You come from a huge and tough pool which in general scores awesomely well on the GMAT, so just have more experience or a great GMAT is not enough. That's why you need to balance out your "Dream schools" with a few more that are outside the top 10.
Best,
Best,
