johnngalt,
Your profile looks good, and your GMAT score is excellent. However, the 'only' thing about it that struck me as distinctive--and being distinctive as well as strong is a must at the very top schools--is the blog and the work with high school teachers. These are the assets you need to emphasize in your apps. They might help put you in the running at Chicago, Wharton, MIT and Tuck (longshots), but I don't think HBS or Stanford are realistic (profile is not distinctive enough). You should be competitive at Darden, Duke, NYU, and Cornell. How many of those longshots you target depends only on how much time you have to devote to applying.
Good luck,
