I will appreciate if you could let me know my chances at the above schools and suggest any more schools I'm missing as well as anything on my profile I should pay more attention to before applying later this year.

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your background with us. The most important thing for your upcoming application is to find ways to stand out. You have a solid GPA, and if you can achieve a 710+ on your GMAT you'll have a strong overall academic profile. The other aspects of your experiences, however, don't really speak to me. Granted, forums aren't the best place to showcase your life story, but I encourage you to work on crafting your story - connect your experiences and highlight your leadership with rich details. A generic application will be your downfall. Corporate strategy is a good goal, but it is awfully generic - what industry do you want to be in? What roles/responsibilities would you want to have/carry?
As for schools, Darden and Fuqua are your stretch programs, but worth applying to. UNC is more aligned. Ivey and Roman make sense, but only if you want your opportunities to be in Canada.
Let us know if you think we could help you with your applications in R1 later this year. Best of luck!

Thanks for the response.
I will work on connecting my experiences together to form a good story. In addition to that, I will research more on the industry.
