Dear sreak1089,
Based on your post, you have the foundation for a competitive application to your target schools. You have substantial work experience and realistic career goals, which should work in your favor. The key for you is to present your background and rationale for an MBA effectively in your applications while also distinguishing yourself from applicants who might appear similar to you on paper. Think about what in your professional and extracurricular experiences is unique and interesting that might be a memorable story for an essay. If you can make a compelling case for admission and stand out from the competition, then I think you will have a good shot at these schools.
Good luck,
Lisa
