Yes
Yes
At a base level, the answer would be yes. However, the description that you've given is quite bare. Schools are seriously about the idea of "wholistic evlaluation" - don't forget that in your applications. There are plenty of people with good stats such as yours who are rejected every year.
Sorry, not trying to be a dick, but this made me laugh out loud.
It's true. This forum has a heavy focus on stats but remember that the individuals making the admit decisions do not work in finance. 80% of 750+ GMAT scorers were dinged at Haas this year.

Yes
Yes
In other words, Yes
That's crazy this is like my exact profile... Go bears
Yes.
I'm going to say maybe just to switch up from all the yeses
Yes.
Cavalier?
Definitely chance, you'll need to execute well though.
hell Yes.
Yes
Op, to take a slightly different tune, although you do have a shot you definitely aren't a shoe in at top 10. What's the rest of your profile like, what extracurricular activities are you involved in, why do you want an MBA/what are your post MBA goals? Etc
Simply put, you've got the right to play at the table. Whether you've got a hand that'll win, that's up to how you play what you've been dealt. Those stats put you in solid contention. But you're not the only person out there with a fancy job, good degree, and a solid GMAT. Once you get past the initial hurdles, it all comes down to the details. Things on the margin you think might not be a big deal suddenly become really important! So as someone opsdude1 mentioned, it's all about execution!
