Chance me deferred mba

Hi everyone -- I'm writing to learn more about my chances of getting into top MBA programs (HBS, GSB, Wharton, CBS, Kellogg, Booth, SOM, Haas) for deferred action. I want to see if it's even worth it. Here are my stats:

- Top 30 LAC -- Non-target

- Economics Major GPA: 3.96

- GRE : 331

- At school:  Entrepreneurship Club, business competition (Winner)

- interned in Investment Banking at MM and BB 

- New-grad offer : corporate VC at FAANG

Post-MBA: Startup, VC, Product Management -> I want to invest in software innovation on the African continent 

Do I have a shot? (And what about if I add 5 points to GRE)
