You've got some outstanding stuff here, Jorge! We've done a lot of work with Teach for America folks; top business schools love the diverse professional exposure that TfA people bring, your leadership, and of course your committed public service. Moreover, your solid GMAT -- higher Quant than most TfA people I've worked with -- will do a lot to assure the adcom that you will be on a par with other students from more traditional backgrounds, and your unique voice will add value in the classroom.
Your short-term goal looks solid; the long term goal seems a bit underdeveloped at present, so that's something we might want to work on.
Overall, I think you would be highly competitive at any of the schools on your list, and they'd be lucky to have you.
Good luck!
