chances at MBA?

current senior (business / econ) at a west coast school (UCLA, Berkeley, USC) with a 3.75 GPA, signed full time with a west coast group (LAZ, EVR, CVP, PJT).

assuming I do well on GMAT, do i realistically have chances at a top MBA? something that I would like to caveat this with is that my transcript itself isn’t the strongest due to taking some classes for a “pass” grade due to COVID policies at my school.

how much does transcript matter? does anyone have more insight into the MBA selection process? thank you so much in advance.
