One way to improve your profile is always to show your readiness for the next step in the career. Showing that you have just a handful of steps from your current career to the goal you have set after MBA is super helpful so you would be evaluated as a "low risk of failure". So if you can show that your current job/rule already includes some Tech PM elements that's helpful to your cause.
Good communication and articulation and doing a strong interview will be important for someone looking to recruit into consulting to show that are polished and client-ready so to speak. A poor interview will definitely put a lid on your chances. So if speaking skills and presentation are not your key traits, you better start working on those.
Don't focus too much on the extra curriculars unless they have some achievements to back them up. Your key evaluations will come from your work experience and academics (scores included) and then extra things are just to qualify how distracted you were from work type of thing. That may be helpful for the Fuqua 25 things but other than that, it is an extra.
Good luck!
