What are the chances of getting into booth with the following, and what do I need to do to make up for my obvious shortcomings?
3.4 GPA from a little known (but accredited) undergrad program.
700 GMAT
Age: 27
4 Years Work Experience for medium sized brokerage firm (Non management, low level, non business support function in HR)
letter of rec: (no big name)
My essays will definitely be strong.
Some community service
3 kids (if that matters)
White male
Basically I know this might be long shot, but I am retaking the GMAT because I know with a little polish I can shine in that area. What do I need to accomplish and focus on (other than GMAT) to increase my chances of being considered during the application process?

Huh? What's the problem? I don't see any obvious shortcomings including your GMAT score which is in range. You seem on paper to be a normal candidate for a good school including Chicago Booth. The biggest thing you can do is show your personality through your essays. You need to be able to convey that you know exactly what you want to get out of Booth from a career standpoint and also that you can contribute to the school in a meaningful way. If you know your story and can effectively communicate that to the adcoms, you should be fine.

I was thinking that my low level (and hr) job experience and unrespected undergrad would kill me in the app process. It seems like i see folks with pretty impressive profiles getting turned away from Booth.
