Hello MintEater, thanks for your question.
Your GPA and GMAT seem solid (GMAT quant is slightly below the 80% that I typically recommend, but it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker).
My biggest question for you is: What would an MBA give you that your graduate degree does not? I am not familiar with Management Engineering – is it more technical or management focused?
In terms of your post-MBA goals, paint a picture that cohesively ties together your past, present, and future. Demonstrate to the admissions committees that your desired career path necessitates an MBA. Identify the specific gaps that stand between you and your short- and long-term goals (knowledge, skills, experiences, network, etc.) and show how business school would directly address those gaps.
Ultimately, your competitiveness will come down to the quality of your leadership experience in and out of work. Can you draw upon “moments” when you truly led: influenced individuals and organizations, drove results, took initiative? You didn’t mention any extracurricular activities after university. Ideally, you’d be able to speak to some of the things you’ve done outside the office to engage with the world and hopefully make it a better place.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck,
Brian
