The second MBA and your MBB experience will position you quite well for these programs. EU programs tend to focus quite a bit on the international experience which is a positive for your profile. ME is a strong target market for these programs, hence you have aligned all elements of your profile well. Continue to work on your profile and maybe give the GMAT another shot to better your chances.
All the best! Do reach out at info@themabedge.com if you have need clarifications.
I think you have a fantastic and the really strong profile. Working in MBB is a big deal.
if you are open to working in the US, you should definitely apply to some US programs. Do you have a really strong shot at Stanford MSX as a program for slightly older candidates and frankly booth is also usually open to experienced applicants. I think the argument of wanting to move into PE in the United States or something like that is going to be a pretty strong one or at least good enough. I would recommend applying to five or seven US schools across the two rounds.
P.S. There used to be a second MBA policy in the past but that has been stricken about 10+ years ago. Schools realized they were dinging great candidates that would be a great contribution to their class stats and alum base (something else to play up)
