You appear to have a good profile to be competitive assuming you have a compelling and articulate post-MBA vision. Also helps to have something unique in your background to serve as a hook for the committees. Be creative as you craft your story and don't be shy about tooting your horn--noboby else will do it for you. Not sure where you got your undergrad, but if it was at a top ten school, all the better. I think you are wise to target b-schools throughout the top 25--some may be aiming high (which I always recommend) and others are lower hurdles. This strategy will serve you well and hopefully result in a choice. Good luck.
