OP, post in the 2+2 group (http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/group/harvard-22-class-of-2016-applicants).

You can compare profiles and experiences with other candidates.

Great profile though, good luck.

Your GMAT is a bit low and your ECs are a bit weak, but otherwise it sounds like you have a really good chance. You're going to want to emphasize that you're quantitative and have a habit of leadership. If you can prove those two out, you should get it.

Best of luck!
