A quick response to this would be: Fantastic!!! I just don't see any weaknesses in your profile, and if you read the boards, you know that's something I rarely say. The only issue I see is timing: you want to be sure you apply within the period of eligibility, which for HBS is April 10 2018. Your numbers are fantastic, you have the right background, you're involved in the community, and there is really no reason not to go for it ASAP!

Good luck and congratulations on a fine profile,
