Thanks for sharing your profile. You have some impressive work experience that will be the strongest part of your application. Your GMAT is solid but if you are looking for the top 10 it will be a bit low as the avg is closer to 730 these days. I don't think there will be any questions about your aptitude so things will come down to how best you position your candidacy. It will be really important for you to highlight ways in which you stand out from the hordes of other applicants. I think your sweet spot will be schools in the Top 10 - 20 range
