LZ说的1-7都不是原因。
研究MBA一段时间，我有几点感想：
1. 除了真的很牛很牛的人能所向披靡外，其他人都是比较random的靠运气；如果真要找原因，那就是你很优秀没错，but not good enough；LZ还很年轻，我觉得工作年限偏短，过一年再来有的是机会。
2. No one is admitted for a single reason, and no one is rejected for a single reason.
3. overqualify根本不存在，没人因为overqualify悲剧，但会因为不fit悲剧。
1、你列出的原因1-6里面，只有5可能跟被HBS拒相关，其它不沾边。HBS希望候选人有三点特质：engaged community citizenship、analytical skill、leadership。你的community service的经历太少，可能简历、essay和推荐信里，都无法展现你是engaged community citizenship，HBS被拒也是可以理解的。另外，被沃顿拒也是很正常的事，跟运气和实力没啥关系——沃顿在中国学生里大部分招的都是女性，男性机会太少（某些年份只有不到20%的中国男生）。
3、看到楼主签名里提到“Expecting to apply for top 5 MBA program”，我的第一感觉是楼主对MBA的认识可能有点不够全面。HBS、斯坦福是第一梯队，而且有些巨牛逼的公司也只要这两个学校的毕业生，其它的M7学校真的是仁者见仁智者见智，没有太大的区别，就楼主的职业目标来看，Booth和CBS的国人placement都比Wharton要好。
“It’s a selection process. There aren’t rules like if you have this score you will be in and if you have that score you will be out. Selection is thoughtful and not rule-based. It’s not mad cap or chaotic. We are making selection decisions. And it’s about the class. It’s not about whether I think John is a better person than Jim. It’s trying to get this wonderful salad going in the class and what ingredients does John bring and what does Jim bring.
We spend a lot of time imagining the kinds of conversations John would have with Jim if they were in the same section. What would they learn from each other? What would they ask each other? HBS is an amazing opportunity for conversations that you won’t ever have again in your life in terms of the richness of the kinds of people who are all heads-up and want to make a difference in the world and come from way different backgrounds. So we spend a lot of time thinking about what those conversations will be like. Those are fun speculations to have.”

我也同意楼上no one is rejected for a single reason, 估计不是某个数据和某一点问题，整体可能不是很fit，当然也有运气因素，也许就单纯是今年的pool特别强。希望楼主不要灰心，好像每年学校也有一些学生是重新申请录取的，你还年轻工作时间也短，明后年要是很有希望的。你不是一个人，有时候我觉得如果一个学校觉得你不合适，不录取也是好事情，因为很有可能这个学校真的也不合适，毕竟两年时间+学费+机会成本适合自己真的很重要。我觉得我上楼说得挺好的，特别策略方面，也试试M7其它学校，从你的目标来看，真的没啥太大区别。
The ugly truth is that HBS, GSB & Wharton weigh the prestige of your undergrad school & company way more than you think. I'm not talking about rarities here which obviously are everywhere. But take a look at the % of admitted people who went to top undergrad schools and blue chip companies (i.e. companies headlined on WSJ on a daily basis). Luck is essential in the process as well.
MBA is a plus not a necessity. You might have better choices not going to schools, even the top ranked ones.
Last but not least, unfairly and unfortunately, being an Asian male sucks at this moment for things like this. On the positive side, Asians are rising, and it won't take long for us to have much much better representations in top ranked schools and the management level of global companies.
