Hi Atul,

Sincere apologies for replying late.

You have a superior profile & good GMAT. You must go ahead with the target schools in R-2. As you are planning to shift towards finance, you can also target b-schools like Booth, Kellogg, Tuck, NYU-Stern, Yale & Ross with good placement rate in finance post-MBA. You can also try your chances in b-schools by clicking to the link https://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool

You are in ideal phase of your career. On the other hand you need to skillfully prepare for questions like your underlying principle behind applying to a specific B-school and change from operations to finance. The subsequently step for you is to focus more on your application essays & recommendations for these Business Schools.

Feel free to post any of your concerns you might have or PM me your number to have a detail discussion over your profile & selection of b-school.

Good Luck!!
Yash
