Rate my chances: Deferred MBA

I am not familiar with the admissions criteria and wanted to know if I stand a chance in this process. Would appreciate any insight.

Currently at a non-US target, strong GPA. Still haven't done the GMAT, any insight on a score I should aim for would also be appreciated. 

I did a freshman investment banking internship at a boutique. Then, secured an EB/BB incoming IB SA role in London for my penultimate summer. Strong extracurricular involvement in University finance clubs as well. 

I would want to reach for HBS/GSB/W/MIT/Booth.
