Just one question on your GMAT: what are your verbal and quant scores? If 80%+ on each, then I have no issue at all.
You seem to have a strong profile and some interesting experiences which will lend themselves well to essays. I think you should take a shot at any of those programs on your list, knowing that some are going to be longer shots than others, of course.
Three things to keep in mind:
• Your competitiveness will come down to the quality of your leadership experience in and out of work. Can you draw upon “moments” when you truly led: influenced individuals and organizations, drove results, took initiative?
• In terms of your post-MBA goals, paint a picture that cohesively ties together your past, present, and future. Demonstrate to the admissions committees that your desired career path necessitates an MBA. Identify the specific gaps that stand between you and your short- and long-term goals (knowledge, skills, experiences, network, etc.) and show how business school would directly address those gaps.
• In terms of extracurricular activities, what you’ve done more recently has more weight than what you did in university/school.
Best of luck!
