Teach For America + EdTech Startup Internship + Full TIme Start up experience = HBS or similar?

Hey guys, just wanted to get some opinions on my situation. I'm currently about to begin my second year of TFA, and I've spent the summer interning for an ed-tech start up. After my second year, I plan on returning to this same start up as a business analyst before hopefully applying to HBS or some other top bschool. I graduated from Northwestern with a mediocre GPA. With a great GMAT, do I stand a chance for HBS / Stanford ? Kellogg?

Any input would be appreciated.
