GPA: 3.33
School/Major: Top 5 US Engineering School, Industrial Engineering. As in calculus, prob, stat, and other math courses. Bs and some Cs in advanced engineering courses.
GMAT: 760, 49 Q and 46 V
Work Experience: 1 year as a tech consultant at a software company, 2 years as a strategy consultant at Accenture, promoted after one year (normal is 2-3).
Extra Curricular Activities: Currently part of a program to mentor college students at my undergrad alma mater. Also part of a diversity outreach mentoring program through work. Recently started volunteering regularly at an organization that helps refugees assimilate in the US. "Ad-hoc" volunteering at food banks, animal shelters, and tree-planting events. Was the head of community service committee for Residence Life (RAs) in college.
Gender/Ethnicity/Facts: Male. Bangladeshi immigrant (citizen now). Moved to the US as a kid because parents thought my siblings and I would have better educational opportunities if we grew up in the US school systems. Parents work in "unskilled" retail jobs and we were very poor when I was young.
Goals/Reason for MBA: Leverage experience working in operations strategy to help transform companies in terms of costs, efficiency, and adaptability to new processes and technologies. I understand that I can do this in consulting, but I feel it would be more impactful to do this as part of the organization in their corporate strategy group.
Target Schools: HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Booth, Columbia, Sloan, Kellogg (aiming high, I know)
I'm planning on applying during round 1 and 2. Do I have a good shot at these schools? Any glaring weaknesses? Anything I can work on between now and then?

Thank you for sharing your profile.
Your good GMAT score and the reputation of your undergrad institution should help address potential concerns with your academic potential. Once you work on the application, it would help to demonstrate strong leadership experiences at work or with extracurricular activities. Demonstrating passion through continued involvement will also help show a focus.
The schools you are targeting are very competitive but you should have a chance. Work on crafting the application package, including getting strong recommendations, and using details in your personal history to help you stand out.
Wish you all the best!

Your profile is very strong and competitive. GMAT and promotion history should help to alleviate GPA concerns.
It seems to me it is only the matter of right execution, chances seem good.
