Hi jber I think your targets are realistic. However, I don't see the full picture here. I don't see any non work / academic related information here. I also do not see clear aims. You say you want to get into either S&T or consulting or entrepreneurship ? Well which one is it? They are all vastly different fields and in your essays you need to pick one and connect it to your background otherwise you will come across as someone who is unsure as to why he/she wants to do an MBA == ding fodder.
Good luck.
