Hi LXP --
This looks pretty good so far. It would be helpful to see your Q/V breakdown on the GMAT, your age, and what leadership roles you've had, both at Cornell and in your current community service engagements. International exposure is also a missing piece here, as is your post-MBA industry/goal. What I see so far is about right for your target schools -- you're on the dartboard -- but these missing components could help me better assess how close to the center of the dartboard you are, heading into the application process.

Good luck!
