You should be in a good position as long as you can explain why you graduated at 26 and you can write a decent essay.

 

Seems pretty good to me. I think you have a very good shot at all of the schools you have mentioned. Don't let the regional school bother you- your gmat scores show you have the ability.

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
