Hi! You have an interesting background, work experience and outside activities, which will help differentiate you from other candidates. That is a strong positive on your side. Your GMAT score, however, is outside of the range seen in the incoming class at all of those schools. It is impossible to know what any applicant's chances are to get into a given school. All you can do is try to highlight your strengths and accomplishments.

You might want to consider applying to a few schools outside of the upper ranks, where you might have a better chance with your GMAT score.

Best of luck,
Rachel Beck
