My chances of navigating to IB/T-10 IB MBA programs

Currently mid twenties. Started working as a contractor in a back office job I eventually left to gain more experience. Ended up working for a CFO at a small office doing some lite finance tasks of projecting out CFs and forecasting with variance analysis. But the office/company was too small for it to be truly the same as for a much larger corporate office.

I'm now in a small corporate office pricing out opportunities to support new and existing business. As you can guess, I have not actually managed anyone, and although I'm on path to promotion, I do not expect to do so in the new FY. I have received a raise and tend to get 100% or more of my bonus, which is good.

In the role, I run and build all my own models completely from scratch, automate reports and other repetitive tasks, and I lead approval discussions on multi million dollar transactions. Some of my work will make it to the CEO and I know that there has been a couple of initiatives that I helped to get the ball rolling that have firmwide implications.

What I'm having trouble with is realistic expectations in networking and although I expect to have a decent story, not sure if it will be enough without managing people and doing more extra curricular stuff beyond winter basketball leagues.

My question is, is my background too under the radar to be taken seriously when generally networking for IB roles? Do I have a chance at schools like Georgetown, Mich, UVA, Columbia?
