Hi Alex,
Before I get carried away, I was hoping for your input on where I might fit in the applicant pool. Planning to apply in first rounds in this fall.
Profile: 28 yrs old, white, male, Canadian
Undergrad: B.Comm from your undergrad alma-mater (75% average –reflective of effort)
GMAT: 780 (Q49, V50): does this help with my undergrad scores?
Other qualifications: Chartered Accountant, CFA Level III Candidate
Work Experience: 5.5 years at a second tier public accounting firm working in Corporate Finance/M&A advisory in both Canada and Australia. Steady promotions, high level of responsibility, great exposure (in my opinion) and will have strong recommendations from superiors. Not a big-4 name, but not an unknown.
Other: Active in many work-related events and committees (including mentorship and leadership groups), well balanced life outside work but no stand out volunteer/non-profit experience. Heavily involved in University clubs/activities if that matters.
The current plan includes applying to: Wharton, Chicago, Columbia, MIT, and Yale (but not set in stone). So, what do you think about the school choices?
I really appreciate your time and any guidance. Thanks, Alex.

The schools you mentioned are certainly within reach, but it comes down to what you want to do post-MBA. I'd say that H/S/W are stretches (choose one - which you did); Booth/Columbia/Kellogg/Sloan/Tuck are sweet spots, and Yale/Darden/Michigan/Duke/Haas/UCLA/NYU/Cornell are semi-safeties (assuming you do a reasonable job on the applications). So yes, you're choosing a good range of schools where you should have a reasonable shot of getting into at least a few of them. Good luck
