Deferred MBA questions

Applying to the M7 Deferred MBA programs this cycle and wanted to see if it is even worth it with my current stats and experiences. Currently at a no name school with a high gpa (>3.9), double major, and going to become a trader at a semi-large AM starting next year (non-NYC or Chicago). Expecting mostly to be writing trading tickets and I don't see that much upward mobility within the firm nor do I want to stay in the current city long term. I would like to move to nyc and preferably work at a fixed income/macro/arbitrage HF. I want to have assurance with the MBA that I have a long term plan that I actually would enjoy and find meaningful to furthering my career.

Was wondering how adcoms look at incoming traders vs mconsultants and ibankers?

Realistically, if I have a GRE score within the range these programs typically look for, what are my chances without having gone to a target school/ivy?

Any advice is appreciated.
