All of the schools you mention recruit candidates with around 700 GMAT scores, on average - so aim for that score or preferably higher. In terms of how good you are as a candidate, you are quite similar to many other applicants, so you'll have to find some way to set yourself apart from the pack. Some extracurriculars or volunteer experience would help but it's a bit late to start those since it might be considered disingenuous. Try your best on the GMAT and in your essays, try to present yourself as a compelling applicant, however you can.
