Sandy’s Ding Analysis:

 Your stats are slightly below HBS averages and a good deal of the outcome could turn on what they think of your current company and job.

You worked three years in a multinational telecom company in the planning
 department and that seems fine. But this could also turn a bit on what Latin American country you come from, or whether you are a U.S. citizen with a Hispanic surname (a possibly better profile that would have given youb some advantage).
