My objective stats are very good, but every other part of my application will be bad. What are my chances at the top schools?

I have a 720 GMAT and a 4.0 (double major in finance and econ, double minor in marketing and psychology) from a non-target, mediocre public school. I don't have hardly any extracurriculars or leadership experience, but I had two internships in college and now I'm in my first year working as an analyst for a large market research firm.

Do I have a chance to get into a place like Duke or Columbia?
