Looks like now is a great time for you to apply to b-school. You have all the boxes checked as far as readiness is concerned, including top academic achievements, great GMAT score and very impressive work experience. Couple this with your ethnicity (a plus) and your international perspective on business and you should be positioned for a good run at your target schools. The key of course will be crafting a compelling application that bring it all together and helps you stand out in a very large pool of banking applicants. Please let us know if we can be helpful to that end.
