Unconventional background: Spent 2 years as whitewater rafting guide before enlisting in the military. Strong leadership stories and EQ experiences from both. Volunteer as a data analyst for a large non-profit. Additional Master's degree from top-tier public university in a highly quantitative field with 3.90 GPA.
Short-Term Goals: Strategy consulting in Northeast or Chicago
Long-Term Goals: VP of Strategy at large defense or aerospace F500

Solid WE, and esp the transition from a whitewater rafting guide to the military; a sound application from you could focus not only on stories from your military experiences, but also highlight the discipline in real life, and how it has trained you to stretch.
The GMAT FE score is decent for all the schools listed.
Assuming you have LORs that show you in a flattering light, and a resume that is designed to impress, you would do well to show WHY a career in Strategy consulting suits you.
Hope that helps. Please submit your profile for a Free Assessment over a 1:1 call. https://theivyleagueedge.com/index.php/contactus/
