I began my career in international real estate private equity at a boutique shop. After three years in PE, I decided to launch a real estate startup that I ultimately sold to my business partner once it was generating revenue over $2mm in annual revenue.

Your GPA is fantastic but if you could get that GMAT up by at least 20 points, your chances would be better.
Your extracurriculars could use some work as well. From other aspects of your application, I see you have an analytical appetite and a habit of leadership. Given this, I say do something community service related to round-up your profile. The main thing against you is the very competitive applicant pool you’ll find yourself in.
Also, a lot of questions are unanswered here… why would you need an MBA to join a $3B private equity real estate fund when YOUR family owns it? It would make more sense if you were in it and then say you were looking to launch their first east coast office. That’s a lot of ambition for something you literally are not a part of yet.
Why do you even want an MBA? You have 7+ successful years in your own company that generated more 2m+ in revenue and want to do something similar but in your family’s fund…. why an MBA??? What is missing that you would like an MBA to fill? Explain that.
If you would take a year more to prepare, get that GMAT up, do some community service, and join your family’s private equity fund… then apply. Good luck!
