Deferred MBA Chances

Been hearing a lot about deferred MBA programs as they are becoming more and more prominent. I'm curious to hear if i have no shot at getting one as a current senior in undergrad

Stats:

Non-Target: 3.8 GPA Economics Major

Received return offer from Top BB IBD NYC

Cofounded an Impact Investment Fund with over $100k AUM

Engaged on multiple extracurriculars and clubs

Haven't taken GMAT but believe I can get over 730 - based off practice

I'm also a straight asian male
