Thanks for sharing your profile. Congrats on that great GPA, this is one of the stronger aspects of your candidacy along with your impressive work experience. Everything seems to be in order outside of your GMAT which as you know falls below the averages at your target schools. if you can close in on those averages you should be in good shape. You don't have to hit them on the button given your high GPA but getting closer will obviously improve your chances as these are the top schools in the world you are targeting.

Hope this helps!
