I’m assuming you took the GMAT and scored that 700 and not the GRE. If so, you would be applying to Stanford with a score that is 38 points below the school’s current average of 738.

Your four promotions show you have been well valued at work and also well rewarded. I imagine that is highly unusual and I would make that clear in your application. I also like the range of MBA programs you are applying to because it assures a successful outcome, even if you don’t get into your first choice school. Good luck to you!
