I would appreciate a review of my profile as mentioned below. I haven’t started applying yet but I am hoping that my aims are not set too high.
Finances are not a crippling factor, but I would need some level of scholarships to manage.

Thanks for sharing.
Your GMAT score helps show your academic capacity, holding leadership/elected position help show habit of leadership. For the essays, you would need to share and substantiate achievements, and show scale of responsibilities. It would help how your career has progressed and the skills you have gained along the way through responsibilities and challenges.
It would also help to play up international exposure or collaborating with a multi-cultural team. It would help demonstrate an open-mind and ability to adapt. Also, identify how specifics at the target programs would help you towards your career goals.
All the best!
