Hi there,
You have a lot of strengths going for you, including your GMAT score, strong quant skills, CFA, etc. Your undergrad GPA will be a challenge especially for schools like HBS and Wharton, so they likely be 'reaches' to a certain degree. I don't know much about your accomplishments, impact, and other details about your work experience which will make an impact, and of course what you share about yourself in your essays and recommendations and interviews can have a big impact as well. Let us know how else we can help or answer questions, and/or feel free to share your resume for a profile eval at www.mbamission.com/consult at any point. Good luck!
