Hello myst_ari, thanks for your question.

Your GMAT is on the low side, generally, but executive programs typically care less about the score and more about the experience you bring to bear.

You are probably aware that you come from an overrepresented demographic. I would proactively call out aspects of your background that differentiate you, such as your Toastmasters participation and entrepreneurial work.

Moreover, make a specific connection between your career ambition and how exactly these programs can help get you there.

Best of luck,
Brian
