Background: Applying in Fall 2018 for Fall 2019 start date.
Work experience: 3 years of work experience upon submission of applications in Fall 2018 (4 upon planned matriculation) in Big 4 Public Accounting, Audit. Currently attempting to transition into Transaction Advisory Services.
Extra curriculars: Volunteer work at local animal rescue shelters (10+ hours each week). Volunteer at LLS. President of Beta Alpha Psi during college. Undergraduate Teaching Assistant during college. Recipient of scholarship awarded to "Top Achieving Academic Student" during college. IM Leagues (need to show some personality right?)
Undergrad school/major: University of Pittsburgh, Accounting/Finance
Certifications: Licensed CPA
Race/nationality: White, US
Sex: Male
Stats GMAT Score: 760 Total, 49Q, 44V, AWA 6, IR 8
Undergrad GPA: 3.85
Post-Grad Goal of MBA: To secure a position with a BB Investment Bank (specifically M&A/Core IB division), with the ultimate goal of transitioning to Corporate Development for a F100-F500 Company
Target schools: Chicago, Columbia, MIT, Duke, UVA, NYU. I will apply to Wharton since I'm located in Philadelphia but that's obviously a bit of a pipe dream. I would be happy with any of these schools and I know that my career goals are possible at any of them.
I can spin a story but still think my WE/Demographic will lead to an uphill battle for all of these schools. Really hoping I can secure a TAS position.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hey dude,
Wellllll... I did want to ask you what school you went to. But basically, your profile is very solid, and if you apply to all the schools on your list, you should be good.
For the higher ranked schools, the question is: what makes you different? Meaning you and the hundreds of other dudes from audit around the world who will be applying. And here, we are looking for story rather than stats. It can be something personal, a dream of yours, extra currics, etc. etc. But we want to have some meat to bite into!
And for that, you've gotta come up with something interesting and original so that your profile gets remembered.
But otherwise, looking pretty good!
Best,
JF
