Your metrics are solid, but your work experience looks to be light. Schools will want to see that you have taken leadership positions within your organization. Being a sole producer is less desirable.

To compete against all the high-scoring technically-trained applicants for the top schools, you will have to have outstanding essays and recommendations. Your scores should make you an excellent candidate for Kelley if you can show good progress at work as well as long term potential.

Before settling on a school list, you should know what you want to study and why. Without that you will be unable to make a convincing case for a specific school. Richard Montauk's book How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs is an excellent resource for all phases of the process.
