Hi SR71,
Thanks for reaching out with your profile. From what you've shared, your profile looks quite strong. In particular, your background in a less traditional pre-MBA field and having such early leadership responsibilities with managing a high-visibility project will be huge strengths in your application. Your experience running the investment club is a great example of impact and bridging diverse groups. Definitely something to highlight as that's a contribution you could make to your MBA classmates as well. Academics wise, you've got a strong enough GMAT and GPA to be in the ballpark for your schools, but I could see those numbers being challenging for some schools, especially top ones where your GMAT is below average. Still, you had difficult majors and have obviously shown you can perform well in demanding environments.
In terms of your school list, it looks like a good range. Glad that you are submitting CBS soon given their rolling process. I would put CBS, HBS, Wharton as reaches; LBS and Cornell as targets; and Rotman as a safer choice. Seems like you could benefit from another school in the target or safe range, but that depends on your risk tolerance and how set you are on attending next year (and also how much time you have since 6 schools are already a lot of work!).
Hope that helps,
Kate
