That is what the GMAT is for. The GMAT is the single most important factor when applying to business schools.

Like Duncan says, the GMAT is a very important part of your application. But there are other factors: at least two years of increasingly responsible work experience (which it sounds like you have,) and your application letters. The letters can be challenging for non-native English speakers, so I'd recommend you have at least one native speaker proof them.

Language also comes into play in the GMAT, in that for better or for worse it is in English, which can make the verbal portion challenging for non-native speakers. My recommendation is to do as much prep as you can, including practice tests, study guides, and even tutoring if necessary.
