I'd love to get some feedback on my profile.
Honestly, I am a little nervous about the GMAT and my target score, would it be possible to get in even if i score in the range of 680-710?

Hello nanoname

Even though you belong to the IT pool, some of the elements can help you really stand out. Past academic scores are good, FAANG brand will surely help. More than that, some of your achievements are really worth talking about in the essays- Hackathon, startup will make for strong stories and help you differentiate yourself from the average IT applicant.
Would want to find out more about your work though, how's your career progressed, what are some of the key accomplishments that you want to highlight?
A 720+ will put you in a very good position. Also, it matches with your past academic credentials. A lower score (680-710) though not optimal, I'll still not write you off if you do a solid job on the essays and bring out your work and extracurricular well.
