At a base level, the answer would be yes. However, the description that you've given is quite bare. Schools are seriously about the idea of "wholistic evlaluation" - don't forget that in your applications. There are plenty of people with good stats such as yours who are rejected every year.
Sorry, not trying to be a dick, but this made me laugh out loud.
It's true. This forum has a heavy focus on stats but remember that the individuals making the admit decisions do not work in finance. 80% of 750+ GMAT scorers were dinged at Haas this year.

Definitely chance, you'll need to execute well though.
hell Yes.
Yes
Op, to take a slightly different tune, although you do have a shot you definitely aren't a shoe in at top 10. What's the rest of your profile like, what extracurricular activities are you involved in, why do you want an MBA/what are your post MBA goals? Etc
Simply put, you've got the right to play at the table. Whether you've got a hand that'll win, that's up to how you play what you've been dealt. Those stats put you in solid contention. But you're not the only person out there with a fancy job, good degree, and a solid GMAT. Once you get past the initial hurdles, it all comes down to the details. Things on the margin you think might not be a big deal suddenly become really important! So as someone opsdude1 mentioned, it's all about execution!
