Which schools out of M7 + Stern and Yale are better to apply with less than 3 yrs of work exp?

Currently a 2nd year Investment analyst in an M&A/Corp dev role in the telecom infra space in Asia, focusing on emerging economies with significant deal experience (10+ with several successful closes).

Planning to apply in R1 this year and wanted to know which schools out of the top 10 are usually more accepting of candidates with less than 3 yrs of work exp at the time of application, and does working in a PE type role post Bachelor's helps or not?

Additionally, what GMAT scores will be required, is it going to be 750+?
