Hi Everybody,
As the title states, I took my GMAT today and scored a 770. Sitting back and looking at that score now though, I realize that I have no idea what it really means for me. I would greatly appreciate some educated opinions, as I just don't know that much about MBA admission requirements/competitiveness.
I graduated a top 5 undergrad business school in 2013, and earned a final GPA of 3.92. I have internship experience in consulting, and have just started working full-time at a highly respected boutique management consulting firm. I am a non-minority male.
Again, I would really appreciate some advice on what I can expect come application season (in a few years)!

Awesome credentials my friend! I am no expert, but I can try to weigh in on your candidacy.
Do you want to go to be school now? Or do you want to wait a few years? Some schools will probably accept you for next years intake (such as Booth), but if you waited until you have 2 years of WE upon matriculation, you should be able to get into Harvard, Stanford, or Wharton.
I would suggest getting involved with the community in some way, shape, or form. Your work at your MC firm will probably take up a majority of your time, but you should be able to fit something into your schedule. The community involvement will show that you are more than just a bookworm. It will show that you like to be involved with the Bschool's activities and clubs. Some Bschools brag about rejecting people with 800 GMATs so make sure you don't stereotyped into a guy who is just book-smart and not collaborative.

Thanks for the response! That is very encouraging news!
My #1 is Stanford, although obviously Harvard or Penn would be great. I guess I assumed that a high GMAT, high GPA, and consulting experience wasn't enough to really guarantee a spot in one of these elite schools, given that there are plenty of consultants my age, and Stanford accepts ~24 white, male consultants per year. I'm know I'm a solid applicant, but I really don't have anything that really sets me apart from all the other qualified applicants.
