Chances at Top B-School

I'm currently a big data consultant. My current company will sponsor most of the tuition if I decide to get an MBA (applying for class for class of 2018). I'd ultimately like to stay in big data consulting, as this is an industry that I really like, and getting an MBA really raises my salary.

My Stats: -Will be 28 by time of starting program -Hispanic Male from VA -GMAT: 770 (800 Quant, 730 Verbal) -Undergrad: 3.2 GPA (lowest pt of my app IMO) Econ Major from USNWR top 8 school (historically grade deflated) -Grad School: MSc Analytics with 4.0GPA -Currently doing both strategy consulting and big data analytics at a big consulting company right below Mck/bain/BCG (think Accenture, Deloitte S&O, BAH) -Will get some good recs from supervisors who LOVE me -Essays will be pretty good IMO -Interviews will be good too (I think) since my past work evals say I speak and communicate really well

List of Schools: Chicago Booth Yale SOM HBS Wharton Stanford UVA Darden TX McCombs UMich Ross Dartmouth Tuck NW Kellogg Columbia

I'm guessing HBS/Wharton/Stanford and maybe Chicago also will be really tough, but what about the rest?

FYI, I know this should go in the business school forum, but nobody responded to my post when I put it there.
