Hey there!
Great to hear from you!
I think you have a VERY interesting profile. We do not see many Ivoirien's applying to business schools and even fewer with the work experience and grades that you have!
With your background, if you can ace the GMAT I think Top 10 and European schools WILL be in range as long as you have a very solid story.

One thing we really need to think about though is the age you will be at when you apply and how we can use that to your advantage, and how we can also construct a school list specifically for you and your goals.

But otherwise, the foundation is there!

Best of luck on your GMAT!
Study hard!
