It sounds to me like you are on the low side of possible for those execpt for USC at which I think you have a decent shot.

The GPA and GMAT aren't great but the hedge fund experience is very good. Your challenge is going to be that you are being weighed against finance people who tend to do well on the quant section of the GMAT which drives a high score. So...I think you're a possibility but I would consider all but USC a "reach."
Keep me in the loop about your thinking and let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for the quick turnaround!

I am planning to retake GMAT, given my portfolio, what would be an optimal score for Cornell/NYU?

And could you please evaluate my chance to Ceibs?
