Dude, that is one scary icon!
So, although your profile looks pretty darn good, at 30 years old and with a 670 your school list is not really realistic. If you want to aim for HBS/LBS/Stanford, I'd suggest a GMAT retake, and even with a 720 it won't necessarily be that easy. I'd say that rather your "sweet spot" is somewhere around 10-30 in the US rankings ( a bit more or less depending upon your ratings, your performance, your promotion schedule).
When are you planning on applying? And do you have any volunteer work? Extra curriculars? other entrepreneurial work? or something else?

Dear JonAdmissionado,
thanks a lot for your fast reply! Can you please clarify what does exactly scare you? Is it my age or GMAT score? Because the latter is fixable, the former is not
My ratings are good & promotion schedule is also very nice, trust me.
Concerning volunteer work, I haven't done anything like that. But I can try
What should I bring to prove my volunteer work and for how much time this work should last? It's probably not very sincere, but I'm ready to do what is needed.Regarding extra cirriculum, I've took strategic management course in Bled (IEDC) School of business in Slovenia. The course includes Strategic Marketing & Management, People motivation, Change management, and Financial tools.
I plan to apply this year R2 or early next year R3. I definately don't what to apply next year.
Looking for your reply!
Artem.
