MD is being a little dramatic. You could definitely get into T15 programs, M7 will be difficult depending on other factors in app though.

OP you have a strong GMAT, GPA and a brand name firm. Focus on crafting a unique story and give it your best shot. You’ll surprise everyone.

All of it. You are just like everyone else. Top programs are looking for something unique that you will bring to the school. Or something awesome you will do after you graduate. The only thing you can really control now is the gmat, so you could get that up but I’m not sure it if would help all that much. Other than that. It’s the story

MD1 got denied at every M7

Unless you have a good story, you are destined for a top 25 mba program. And at that point, I’d question why go at all unless you are looking to switch careers

Which part of my application would you say is holding me back?

Lol @ top 25. Echoing EY1, You can aim for 10-15 and that should be your sweet spot. Programs that are top 10 and specialize in marketing might be worth considering as well. Honestly, nothing is really holding you back. A 720 vs 730 average at an M7 isn't going to break your application at all; it's so insignificant
