Thank you for your posting. You have several things working in your favor. The strong work experience and proven track record as an entrepreneur in Pakistan are very impressive. Your scores and gpa are solid as well. Lastly, I think that your goal of being in VC in developing countries is believable and makes a lot of sense. You do need to clearly explain why you need the MBA degree. With your work experience and a CFA, why is this crucial? Be clear about that and then also be specific about why a certain school is also a good fit for you and your goals.
I think you are a viable candidate for the schools you mention, but keep in mind they are the most competitive business schools in the world. So if you are 100% sure you want to attend business school next year, I would suggest you add at least one safety school.
Best of luck to you,
Jennifer
