I think you have reason to be optimistic. Terrific grades, masters, managing a large team. Rising industry. And, you want to stay in the same industry so career services will like that. You are super-recruitable.
The community service sounds solid. Yes, the GMAT is a bit low and given your narrow options, it would be wise to retake it. You might be overestimating the effort required. I have taught GMAT Verbal for 16 years and it's more about proper mindset and application of good strategy than doing a ton of questions or working hard.
You will want to fulfill on your plan to apply sooner than later, you're not old but ages are trending downward and the clock is ticking. Of course, you do need to bring the special sauce - some kind of diversity that sets you apart. And don't fool around when it comes to your application, work with a consultant who can help you make the most of your hard work and accomplishments.
I am not sure how Wharton's recent winning statistic of 40% women will impact your chances
https://mbaschooled.com/2016/02/02/how-women-at-wharton-are-leading-from-the-front/ They have something to defend now, however it might also attract a large female candidate pool. If you do a lot of networking, and your essays/community service/LORs set you apart, I think you have a very good shot there. Helps that are strong in healthcare.
Yale is really on the rise and I wonder if you might consider applying there, if you're in NYC? They are also strong in healthcare. 2 schools is just too risky. Get in touch if you would like to speak further.
Best, Farrell
