Well, you are definitely from a tough pool!!!
But you will do your mightiest to make your application unique and passionate! And will stand out...
I think your biggest strength that I see here is your leadership. Plenty of folks apply without any leadership at all, and that is one thing that will fo' sho' help you out. So focus on those experiences as much as you can.
Secondly, your school list is a really reasonable one given your background and GMAT. There is a good mix of tough, competitive and easier schools, and you will just have to choose which schools you leave out.
One thing to think about is that although you do have some decent volunteer work and ECs, what we have here so far is all a bit "regular". Not to belittle it in any way! It's great that you have this stuff, but one thing to think about, esp. coming form this TOUGH HUGE pool that you come from, is how you are going to differentiate yourself...
So get that thinking cap on! Otherwise, in terms of GPA, GMAT, work experience... everything is good and solid and I need no major concerns anywhere.
Best of luck, and let me know if there is anything else...
Best,
Jon

Hey Jon,
Thank you so much for evaluating my profile.
Yes, I will surely try to present a story that focuses on the leadership aspect.
About the community service, I do understand that I havent done anything extraordinary, I faced many challenges while doing the community work which I think I can showcase.
I just have one more small request from you.
Would it be possible for you to categorize the above schools into easy, moderate and ambitious category?
One again, I would like to thank you
