Question: What are my chances of getting into Michigan Ross, Johnson, Darden, Anderson, McCombs, Foster, Goizueta, Kelley, Tepper, McDonough, Scheller, Owen, Mendoza, Jones, Simon? Is there anything I can do to strengthen my application? Are there other schools in which I would have more chances to be admitted?
I think your chances are solid, if we assume that you’ve been, e.g. managing other people? I’m sorry that I don’t know what an "MEP Estimator" is? Does it involve leading other people, or is it a solitary desk job? It will come down to your leadership experience --- ie, are you working with / managing others, or doing these jobs all by yourself in a solitary manner?
Re: schools to target, look at those that have strong real estate offerings -- e.g. UCLA anderson; McDonough -- you can say that you want to pivot from construction to real estate / "the business side" of your field.
I would not mention "e-sports" in the application -- gives an image of someone only playing video games all day, anti-social, etc. I’m not saying that You ARE anti-social, but it risks giving the wrong impression.
There’s no way you can take a test (gre?) and get a strong score? Aside from "making sure you have good leadership experience", the biggest thing you could do to improve your chances would be to apply with a strong test score.
