Hi Madhav,
Wish I could add more value here, but this program is simply outside of my field of experience. Looking at your stats and the school's incoming class profile, you seem eligible but not at the top of their range. It's a very competitive program, with a relatively low acceptance rate and a high yield statistic, so you may want to invest some time in getting a stronger GMAT score. But everything else -- work experience, GPA -- seems like a good fit with the program. Again, I am only interpreting the data here; unfortunately, I have no first-hand experience working with applicants to this program.

Good luck!
