From the information that you have provided you seem like a strong candidate (GMAT, GPA, activities). It's really difficult to give "chances", but I believe you could be competitive. The only thing I would question is leadership - did you demonstrate leadership in your job and activities? Your work experience seems like it could have been pretty solitary (I really do not know since I have not seen your resume - just a guess). Find ways to show your leadership skills throughout your application.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
