Thank you for posting your request here.
1. I plan to apply this coming fall. Should I take time to visit each school?
I would strongly recommend visiting the schools where you are planning to apply. When you visit, please ensure you meet with a few current students to learn more about the school, program etc. You can reach out to admissions team and they will be able to help you arrange this for you (most schools do, if not, you can reach out people informally). Later, while you are writing your essays, you can use these research findings.
2. What should I focus my essays on to ensure that I stand out from the crowd?
This is a very broad question. With limited info that I see, I suggest focus on demonstrating how you have succeeded in diverse areas (strategy, finance, capital markets) and how you are a quick learner. But, this is not ENOUGH
3. Any other pertinent information, suggestions, advice, etc.
You have good extra curricular and you can use these ones to highlight some leadership and community experience
I hope this helps.

Visit. Visit. Visit. The school visit will set these schools apart in your mind. You'll likely get to meet current students, see the campus, get a feel for what it's like to be in that classroom. And you'll come away with a much better idea of what that school culture/fit will be like with you, your goals, and your personality.
What will set you apart is your own story and how true you stay to yourself. You see a lot of posts on these boards and more often than not, everyone has good work experience, great scores, etc etc -- however, everyone's motivations for taking on that role, being in that extracurricular organization, and for wanting an MBA are different and personal. Only you can tell that story to adcom; don't tell adcom what you think they want to hear.
