Target schools: Cornell, Stern, Haas, Fuqua
Reach: Kenan-Flagler, Tepper, Georgetown
Safe: Mendoza, Vanderbilt, Emory
You can drop the last (Safe) category.
Your work ex, GPA, GMAT are within reach of the first two categories.
Your essays will have to articulate your experiences so far, your short term aspirations and long term career trajectory in a coherent and humble manner.
You'd have to research each school's USPs and match them with your ask.
Make sure you include spikes or high-points in academic, work, personal life generously.
Remember, well rounded essays are make or break for ADCOMs. I could take a look at your essay drafts and help you structure them.

HI,
Overall, nice, well rounded profile. You have a blend of noteworthy work experience + ECAs+ hobbies. Shall give you material for the essays as well as the resume. Be sure to use these experiences to show your leadership experiences in both work and ECA spheres. From what I read, it sounds like you shall be able to get good LORs .
I would add UCLA to your list of programs as well, not sure if you are willing to go West, as there are no other programs on the list from that direction.
