Hey there!
You have a very solid and very nice profile there. Great grades, summa cum laude (even if it is a small school), good work in the Big 4. I think your school choice is pretty good for your profile from what I can see. Scholarships are notoriously hard to predict, but you can always try.
Actually if this is an option, probably the one thing you can do that would really boost your profile and increase your chances of getting a scholarship would be if you were applying with a better GMAT. so even if you could get 20-30 points, at this level, it could make a quite huge difference.
I hope this helps!
