I know USC has an average gpa admitted of 3.1 and UCLA of 3.5. However, what are my chances of getting into these schools? Any feedback given is appreciated.

1. The two schools are in a fairly different league so you need to assess your chances at the two schools independently.
2. For reasons mentioned here, I wouldnt go into predicting the chances. But in terms of profile, it is not clear what you mean by consulting or finance. There are various kinds of consulting; finance too is a VERY broad term. You have to zero in on the right post-MBA goal which also helps you leverage your audit experience.
3. For UCLA, a higher GMAT score will definitely help matters. In case you are not already taking professional help on that, it would be worth exploring.
4. Final word of advice would be to spread your net wider and apply to a few more schools.
