Hi Experts,
I am an Indian Female, age 24. I am matriculating in an MS program this fall. It is at Duke University. I have work experience just shy of 3 years as an environmental engineer at an Oil and Gas company (1 promotion, managed an entire oil field's Environmental compliance for almost 2 years). My UG is from an IIT with gpa of 8.74 and GRE score of 333 (163 V 170 Q). I have some volunteer experience.
I am now also considering to apply for MBA upon graduating from this program. This should add one more year of work experience. I would like to target top 10 mba programs in USA ( preferably HSW) so I am not confident about my profile right now. I am looking forward to strengthening my profile through my MS (since it is professionally oriented) by graduate consultant jobs, internships, research work at the Fuqua's EDGE centre and gaining some more volunteering experience. Am I being impractical and should I consider applying for MBA only after gaining a significant work experience after MS?

Three years of work experience is sufficient for an MBA, even at the top programs you indicated. The MS, while not work experience, is a valid part of your overall profile and adds credentials.
An additional year of work may not really make a difference. Something to also consider, if you just work for one year and apply, you might not really be able to demonstrate a strong track record in such a short period of time. That COULD impact your resume and the strength of your letters of recommendation.
If you are considering working, I would suggest at least 2 years post-MS. That would also give you time to work on other aspects of your profile. HSW, as you know, is brutally competitive. Don't rush it since your first shot is usually your best one.
