Dear horizonspeaks,

Based on the limited information in your post, I think you have a competitive profile for any MBA program. As stressed in many previous posts, a positive admission decision depends on how strong your overall application is and your ability to effectively distinguish yourself with the admissions committee.

I encourage you to view some of the sticky threads and previous posts for tips and suggestions, especially as an international applicant for the programs you mention.

Good luck,
Lisa
