Central Banking - MBA at a M7

Hello,
I am currently working at the central bank for a G-7 nation as an economist in the financial markets group. I am mostly focused on the policy side , but also undertake research with Ph.D researchers when it comes to model building for the bank.

My profile:
Local top 3 business school in my country, 3.8/4.0 graduating GPA - specialized in economics and finance
Took an extra year after business school to study pure mathematics to prepare for Masters
Local top 3 economics faculties for Masters in Economics, 3.8/4.0 GPA

At university, I spent two summers interning at a Fortune 500 company in marketing, and one summer at a small boutique Asset Management firm as an options trader,

After my Masters, I joined the central bank.

I took the GMAT and scored a 700 total.

I can have solid recommendation letters from researchers at the bank - one has a Ph.D from Wharton, and the other has a Ph.D from University of Chicago

I was wondering if I am a strong enough candidate to pursue an MBA at an M7 institution after 2 years of central banking?

Any answers shall be greatly appreciated. There isn't much information for central bankers so I'd be really grateful!
