My magic ball says: "You will be admitted to both. Just go apply."
Reasons for this belief:
+1: Strong GMAT (assuming you score what you estimate ... remember the PT program is NOT the FT program)
+0: Substantial work experience (assuming you aren't fudgin')
+1: Exceptional GPA
+1: Clear, well defined and well articulated short and long term goals
+0: Reasonable Extracurricular activities
The bar for the PT program is lower. Your profile would be competitive for FT, and certainly are for PT.

Thanks for your comments. I took my GMAT and got 680 at ~80% for verbal and math so its well balanced and at my target. I feel it should be little higher however my GPA can balance it out.
"+0: Substantial work experience (assuming you aren't fudgin')" - I wish I was...
I my hairloss to prove it 
I actually had my interview at Kellogg today. I talked little too much but I think it went well.
Now finishing my essays and we shall see how it goes for Winter. In terms of GSB I will have to try Spring (if Kellogg does not work out in next week or so )
