Clearly, your profile is impressive however there is obviously some component of your application that is weak. I recommend that you have your essays reviewed by someone who has been accepted to a top program and ask for honest feedback. Make sure that you have thoroughly answered the questions and have also provided some insight into your personality and character. Also, make sure your letters of recommendation are written by individuals who can discuss your achievements and goals in detail. The content of the letter is more important than the job title of the person writing it. You mentioned that your extracurriculars are weak. Make sure that there is something in your application that demonstrates you are a well-rounded individual who is comfortable in a variety of settings. Finally, make sure your applications are tailored to each program. Many applicants make the mistake of writing one set of essays and using them for all applications. This is a bad approach and will yield negative results.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
