You definitely have a shot! But there are also areas you can optimize.

First: IMO, don't switch companies again - you don't want to appear to be a job-hopper. Keep going for promotions in the same company, and seek out LEADERSHIP roles. That's one thing that's not clear to me in your materials: what leadership roles have you had, at work or in university? For b-school purposes, "leadership" = leading people, anything from direct reports to project teams to volunteer groups. Differs from "in charge of" or "owning" a process - top business schools want to see the people in your story.

Volunteer work: if you haven't done anything substantial since university, tacking that on the same year you apply might look a bit like a "death-bed conversion", if you know what I mean. If you have done work with organizations or causes in the past, you could re-involve yourself or crank up your current involvement, preferably taking on a team-leadership role.

GMAT: These days, 710 is rather neutral. It won't knock anyone's socks off, but it won't hurt you either. Given your industry and undergraduate profile, my advice would be to try to get past 720, just because I see a sort of invisible line at that point these days. Neither your Q nor your V is problematic, so it would just be a matter of eking out a few extra points, although a stronger Q would give you the most impact. You would know best whether that's realistic for you; I am simply speaking optimally here.

International exposure: it's a major plus if you have it, either professionally or during university.

Schools on your list: you'll be good for USC and UCLA, but with these numbers you might struggle at HBS or Stanford. Your post-MBA goals will be a crucial component, both in helping you identify the right programs and in structuring your research.

I see that you've gotten a lot of feedback on this site over the last few months, so hopefully these components are starting to gel for you.

Good luck!

The advice provided seems good. Your work experience helps differentiate you. I would apply for the next cycle, you can always reapply if not successful. cheers, Alex
