International student: chance at Wharton?

Hi everyone! I'm planning to apply for R1 at Wharton this fall.

My profile is as follows: - Southeast Asian, 27F (will be 28 at matriculation) - Undergrad at no name home country uni (3.5 GPA) - 5 years of exp in agribusiness MNC, 2 promotions - Aiming for 750 GMAT (latest mock 710 Q47 V41) - EC: some student body position during UG, co founder of a start up with 5 employees - Post MBA goal: IB associate in Industrial group

Do I stand a chance at Wharton? And what can I do in 6 months to improve my candidacy? Many thanks everyone!
