Top MBA program chances?

I'm an IB analyst in top 3 BB firm, but graduated from a non-target undergrad (good GPA; it was a fucking miracle that I broke in right after graduating tbh).

I managed to be a top bucket analyst and like to think I'm doing a good job on the role.

Assuming that I get a good score on GMAT, what are my chances to break into top MBA program?

Any thoughts / advice are appreciated!

Hey Analyst 1 in IB - Cov, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

More suggestions...

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
