Consider the following Adam:
  1. Your academic arc is decent enough; that coupled with above average GMAT will make for one less thing to worry about on this front. You will have to think of a clearly articulated story on the reason for an MBA after a Master's in Engg Mgmt though.
  2. It will be critical to understand the nature of your work more. The nature of your projects and achievements therein. Consulting (Strategy/Management) to Product Management is not an unheard of transition; but there are a lot of different interpretations of Consulting especially in Deloitte/Accenture so important to understand this dimension. The startup experience is on the side I presume?
  3. For reasons mentioned here, we do not provide gut-based school assessments. That said, I would still recommend balancing the target list a bit on the lower end overall.
  4. Finally, any insights on the ECs dimension will be good to further get a closer view of the profile.
Overall though, good chances so go for it!
