You have an excellent profile and frankly the only challenge I see with any of the schools you listed will be in making sure you distinguish yourself from other applicants with a similar background. As you likely know, your applicant pool is a very deep one, so every year it becomes important for applicants to ask themselves how they stand out from the proberbial crowd.
Right off the bat, I can tell you are very passionate about the things you do both inside and outside the classroom. Demonstrating leadership in the endeavors your undertake is very attractive to adcoms, and they will appreciate your high marks and achievements. The key will be in weaving these accomplishments together into a cohesive whole, where you are showing the adcoms you have what it takes to succeed in school and get a job after b-school. It will likely work in your favor that you have a post MBA vision which connects logically to your previous experience. While b-school is a historical venue for changing careers, again since you hail from a crowded applicant pool, it could help you stand out to have a post MBA vision which ties into your prior career. Please let us know if you would like an extra set of eyes and ears as you prepare your applications.
