Kolesar,
Pretty impressive, but perhaps not unusual enough for Stanford and Harvard. Your chances at--assuming these schools are in your top 5-- Chicago, Kellogg, and Wharton (and especially Wharton given their real estate strengths) are better though hardly money in the bank. I'm assuming your age is 27-29. If older this weakens your chances.
So all in all I'd say aiming for C, K, and W will be a moderate longshot, but you should be able to get into top 10 schools based on the bare-bones profile you gave me. Again, if there are red flags you didn't mention that would change things.
Good luck,
