Fantastic GPA/GMAT and is a STEM major with a job at Microsoft!! Woww, great job! Things against you include that you are a white male (high competition and that your MBA goal(s) are too common and broad. This will hurt you as others are highly likely to have more specific ones. None of your extracurriculars are exactly community service... I think they might see you as being too-quanty (not well-rounded), though they might let it go seeing you double majored in Philosophy. I'd bet on you getting interviewed at Harvard.
