Personal: 25 y/o, white male US resident
Undergrad: Graduated 2008 from midwest state school (MAC Conference). Finance major (minors in Business, Biology, Chemistry). GPA: 3.7 (4.0 major GPA).
WE: 2 years in diversified financial services company (Fortune 100 company) as a financial analyst. In accounting/finance role. Promoted after 1.5 years. Decent accomplishments, but its hard to make a big mark in such a large business.
ECs: Significant during school including many leadership roles. After school, more limited ECs, but still stayed involved.
GMAT: 710 (Q44, V42) -- if this is an issue, I'm almost positive I can improve this. I did not feel prepared, but still tested about 20-30 points higher on practice tests. If I prepared more I could probably get 750+, but I'd really rather not go through all that.
CE: Passed LII of CFA; will likely pass LIII in June (will know results before applying).
Career goals: PE/HF (BS roles) by way of SS I-banking.
Target schools: Chicago Booth, Columbia ED, NYU Stern, NW Kellogg; seek to matriculate in Fall 2011.
Really not looking to go to any non-target schools at this point -- what are my chances of getting into these target schools?

You have a competitive profile for your target schools. With strong essays, recs, and interviews, you should hear good news.
While you can't have too high a GMAT, and I am guessing your quant score is a little lower than ideal, your transcript and work should tell the schools you can do the math.
You may want to see "Best Practices for MBA Admissions." It is a recorded webinar on what you can do in the months before applying to improve your chances.
Best,
Linda
