You should be very competitive in your target range. A high GMAT, solid work experience for internationally recognized company and leadership experience as well. Your years in the field should be enough to "qualify" but it's really more about what you have done and not how long you have done it. Having achieved awards from your company and also leading teams across a dynamic consulting environment will make you valuable in classroom discussions and also an attractive post MBA consulting candidate. The fact your pre and post MBA career achievements and goals line up with each other will also be a solid story to sell to the adcoms. If you can articulate this vision in a clear and compelling way, there should be no reason you won't find a seat in one or more of your target schools. Applications are releasing soon from most schools, so let us know if we can help.
