Should I apply for next year?

So I understand more experience is probably the norm, but I have a bit of a story and wondering if that helps my case at all.

I just graduated in May 2017, but I worked full time through school. I did business development for a growing financial firm for 2 years, then worked as an analyst under the PM for the second 2 years. The reason I am in a rush is because I am 25. I started school late because I had 2 family events over a 2 year period (both brother and dad almost died). This stopped me from going away to school. I graduated with a 3.2 from a State school but 3.7 major gpa (finance). I now work in sales for a top Asset Management firm. I believe that I am fully ready to take advantage of what a MBA has to offer and think it would benefit me greatly.

The question is how long do I really NEED to wait? my goal is to score over a 700 on GMAT (currently studying). Aiming for t20 schools. Do I have a shot?
