Boutique Consulting M7 Chances

Thinking of applying for a MBA and specifically wondering about my chances for M7 schools. Almost finished with my third year and on a fast track to a manager level position very soon. I'm at a boutique consulting firm (think Putnam/Altman Solon/Simon Kucher/ZS-huge but similar reputation) and a first-gen college white guy.

GPA: 3.75

Major: Finance

UG: T50 Non-Target

GMAT: 760

ECs: Alumni Board Member of most prominent finance club at my college/Refugee Non Profit Volunteer/Founder of Solo Non Profit 

Would be interested in MBB or founding a startup afterwards. Also interested in growth equity but I think that ship has sailed.
