Time to get my MBA, where should I apply and what are my chances?

Age: 27
Degree: Finance (unknown state school)
GPA: 3.4
GMAT: 670
Work history: Upon graduating I joined a leading multinational saas firm (5b in revenue a year) as a Financial Analyst, i'm now currently a Senior Analyst at that same company (4 years). The role is more divisional finance based and less corporate FP&A. My job primarily consists of structuring deals with strategic partners (anywhere from 1.5m-30m) and working with the sales teams put together term sheets to pitch to the customer. Some of the more common tasks I perform are; P&L modeling, structuring pricing models for sales ops & tracking revenue streams from past deals to make sure booking value and recognized revenue align. My entire job is essentially to provide analytical financial support for new/recurring deals.

Why I want to get my MBA: I truly love my job and really enjoy working in tech. However, I feel that I am hitting a glass ceiling in terms of pay and career progression, the next in house vertical for me to take would be FP&A manager, which could take years! I would like to transition into consulting (preferably within tech) and one day make my way back to corporate but in a Strategy/Business Development role. Given my past experience and consulting oriented career path, what are some feasible schools that I would have a good chance at getting into? Side note, I have no real interest in IB.
