Hi Jay,
Congrats on the GMAT! That, your grades, your progression at work and your extracurriculars look strong. I don't know as much detail on your projects and accomplishments at work and all examples of leadership etc, but so far so good... the main challenge is that those are some tough schools on your list, who turn away well-qualified candidates every season. So dig deep and aim to stand out from the crowd and think about what makes you who you are and what you might bring to the class that others might not. Within those schools, best shots are at Ross & Cornell as you likely know. Good luck and keep us posted!
