720 Q49 V39- Awa-6.0

[RupStar]

Hey guys i just wanted to know what y'all think i should do
I took my GMAT got a 720 but i have only 2 year work ex (by the time i am ready to go to B school) I have done tons in Undergrad, even had my senior thesis approved for publication in a top economic journal (Labor Review) am working at a well reputed place (IMF) on the research assistanship program.
My GPA was good too 3.76
But i am a little concerned because i dont know what these guys at H/W/S/Columbia are looking for from candidates who are on the lower end of the work ex scale. I know i will be in consideration but i wanted to know what is it that will really make things tick the right way to make me a favorable cadidate for the top 5 schools.
I have considered working for another couple of years but my issue with that is, wherever i go i am not going to be in a real "managerial position" and its going to be the same BS tht will be dished out because i am 22 and have been working for just 2 years. So i dont really want to waste another couple of years trying to push myself up pointlessly.

SO my MAIN QUESTION is is 720 enough? I got a 6 on my AWA ( i dont know how cause i hadnt prepared for it whatsoever) will that give my score a higher weight or is it really as inconsequential as people say it is?

Do hope some of you can give me some insight into the matter
Thanks
