You have good qualifications to start with but then the diversity factor with the Trans thing is absolutely going to help you out. I'm wondering why the recommendations would not be rave reviews. Are you serious about that? I get the feeling that you are this compulsively humble person. Are you from the Midwest or something? 
and then on top of that with the test score situation being what you expected to be, that really indicates to me that you should try for the top schools. That said a profile evaluation is not useful until we actually have a score but if your prediction comes true then I think you should apply broadly within the top 10, if you choose to use a consultant broadly within the top 20. It's vital that you bring that special sauce factor to separate you from the other people with wonderful qualifications. the diversity that you bring is very interesting but I definitely want to make sure that story is told with enough depth and context. and also it's important for a consultant to help you select/suggest anecdotes for your recommenders as well. Lastly, to show impact/results on your resume score, which I very rarely see honestly.

Thanks for the feedback Farrell!
Hah I wish I could say it was humility--my ego's far too big for the Midwest My current manager and I just don't see eye-to-eye, and while she is highly ethical and would never throw me under the bus in her recommendation, I don't think I will get much more than "he performed the duties of his position well and was a positive addition to our team." As far as other recommendations, they'll all be from people who were a few years in my past, so they probably won't remember me as well and won't vouch for me as strongly as they would've if our connection was more recent.
I will focus on locking in a great GMAT score for the next few months, and then start constructing a narrative that incorporates the diversity factor as well as goals--once I get to that point I may contact you for some help! It's been a long time since I had to write an application essay, I'm probably underestimating just how rusty I'll be. Thank you again for the insights!
