Your profile overall is pretty solid (high GPA/GMAT and decent extra-curricular), so you should have a decent chance at all your target schools.

But, based on what you wrote, you seem to have a bachelor's degree which might not have included many quant focused courses (especially if you did Marketing, Supply Chain etc.). And, since your GMAT Quant score is towards the lower end of the scale for your target schools, you might have to address that perceived deficiency in your MBA application.

Anyway, good luck!

Thanks for your reply Sajal!

I am a bit worried about my quant score. As you surmised, my degree program was not very quantitative and I think that is definitely a big weakness in my application.

I think your stats are fine. Wharton might be trouble with that quant score. They really are sticklers with the 80/80 rule. You just need to write compelling stories in your essays and differentiate yourself.

That is good insight Terp...Are Harvard, Kellogg and Chicago sticklers about the 80/80 rule also?
