You have a strong profile and should be a competitive applicant for the schools on your list. Be sure that you are able to articulate your professional achievements including instances of innovation, leadership, and teamwork. Also, be sure you know why you are choosing this time in your career to pursue an MBA and how it specifically fits into your future plans.
