You've got some great stuff here! GMAT is a bit low for the schools on your list, but everything else looks promising. I'd certainly recommend retaking the GMAT to get up around 710, 720, just so that you don't have to worry about it -- with that GPA, I'm sure you can score higher. Your extensive community service will also be important for your application strategy, particularly if it was in a leadership role.
I'm not seeing HBS in this profile yet, but this would depend a lot more on the leadership you've been exercising in your community service roles, and also on your long-term career vision. Many top MBA programs can get you into real estate or investment banking, but where do you see yourself in 20 years? How will your vision lead you to a role that adds value to the school's brand? Cornell or Tuck will not be so concerned, but if you're applying to HBS, what makes you "Harvard-y"? It's worth thinking about...
Good luck,
Margaret Strother
