What are some specific things that I need to improve upon to have a chance?

Hi,
Yes, sky is the limit- you should definitely aim for the IVY league (although Stanford is not among 'IVY" League): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_I ... ss_schools
Your reasons for doing an MBA are valid, and if you can manage a 760 in your final test, you will definitely rock it.
Moreover, all b-schools love internationals on their campus, so your being German is going to be a big plus on campus.
I'd suggest you work upon your volunteering efforts over the coming months and build a decent portfolio in this area (depth of involvement matters more than breadth - so take up one activity, but intensely). Also, more research on the b-schools, the application process and your career goals will be beneficial during the essay writing.
Here and here are some articles that will help you get started.
