assessment of finance guy

I wanted to get a brutal assessment of my profile for business school and what my perceived strengths and weaknesses are:
720 GMAT (84% Q, 92% V)
GPA 3.8 (4.0 in major) from large state school, strong EC’s in school won a leadership scholarship and award
3 years WE at large commercial bank (top 3 by assets), been promoted once, no mgmt experience but good team experience
EC: big brothers big sister 2 years, toastmasters president, on the board for new org focused on service, networking and learning to young professionals in the finance industry
Want to stay in finance, management in large corporate/commercial banking
How I differentiate myself from other finance people – work with middle market companies (< $500 million in revenues), more interaction with top level management at smaller co’s (vs. IB) but also obviously smaller deal size
I‘m applying to H/S/K/Chi/Texas-Austin. I will probably spend my career in TX so if I leave for school I want it to be top 5. Any help you could provide on differentiating myself with so many finance applicants and weaknesses I should be aware of. Thanks
