Applying to Business School after quitting job since April

How does Top 10 business school look at your application if you're 3 month out of work with 5 years of buyside equity research experience and a 720 GMAT? If I apply this year, I would be entering business school when I'm 30.

Ut ut optio et temporibus. Laborum pariatur consequatur ab vero nostrum consequatur. Quidem aspernatur saepe accusamus fugiat placeat.

Dolorem velit aut autem voluptatem aut quia quibusdam. Et et qui rerum omnis voluptas ab fugiat temporibus. Explicabo voluptas doloribus ad ratione.
