Hi
spamtown123, thanks for reaching out with your profile. The schools you listed definitely seem in range for your profile. Your quant score is a little low, but hopefully you can make up for that with quant courses and work. When it comes time to write your application essays, you'll want to get more specific on which area of finance you want to pursue and why, so you'll need a better story around that based on your experience so far. The food insecurity program is interesting -- have those been formal leadership roles you've taken on? If there's a way to amp up your leadership in that activity before you apply, that could look better (not sure what you mean by "misc roles"!).
As for schools, I'd also check out Cornell Johnson, UVA Darden, Duke Fuqua, Georgetown. Maybe UCLA if you want a West Coast option. Ideally you'd end up with a list of 4-6 schools with the aim to apply to most of them in the first round.
Hope that helps you, and feel free to reach back out if we can help with your application process.
Kate
