There are a couple of numbers that are unclear to me: your work experience is still fairly light, and your verbal GMAT score (~55%) shows that this area also needs work. Your overall GMAT is pretty much at the median for the schools you're applying to, but it's imbalanced; your goals seem vague as yet.

All things considered, my evaluation here would be to slow down and apply next year, or at least in Round 2 of this year. Take the time to research your goals, pick a lane, go to the campuses you hope to apply to and get a feel for them. Sit in on some classes. Talk to some students.

Also, pick a direction for your goals: it's hard to know what MBA programs are a fit for you until you have a post-MBA industry nailed down, because some programs are more appropriate than others. You also might give yourself space to retake the GMAT and get a more competitive Verbal score, or to take some courses in business writing so that you'll be a stronger contributor to the class.

With a little extra labor here, you can be a strong competitor for these top business schools, and this is a super important crossroads in your life. So I recommend that you dig in and take your labors to an even deeper level.

Good luck!
