2022 MBA prospect. Currently working on a a BBA from Texas Tech. 6 years active duty, 2+ years of which as an NCO.
I am an American born Hispanic. So I believe I fall in the "URM" category.
Currently working part-time in the resturant industry. I will likely stay with this employer till I leave for my MBA school since I intend to request a LOR from my general manager.
I also plan on receiving a LOR from my former platoon leader that oversaw our platoon in Afghanistan.
I have been looking at 4 programs to apply to in R1 for the 2022 class. Wharton/Columbia/Johnson/Tuck.
I will also apply to a few public universities in Texas as fall back plans in R2. To utilize the Hazelwood act if I am not admitted to any R1 schools.
Planning on taking the GMAT with a few months preparation. Aiming for a 730+ and will take multiple attempts in order to maximize my chances of a high score.
Along with my BBA I will add a minor in Chinese. For this minor I will spend spring 2018 in a language intensive program in Shanghai sponsored through my University. I aspire to become fairly fluent in Mandarin by the time I submit my applications.
I spoke with a Veteran Admissions rep from Johnson who recommended I spend some time volunteering to help with my application. I will start that process this summer. Hoping to volunteer for a woman's or animal shelter seeing how these are two concerns I care about deeply.
What other areas can i focus on to make myself as competitive as possible?
Given my work experience, and a likely 3.35+ GPA from Texas Tech, and a 700+ GMAT. Is this a potentially competitive resume for my target programs?
My goal is to receive fellowship offers to offset the high cost of tuition. I would prefer to minimize the amount of student debt I take on.
I would likely choose McCombs with Hazelwood covering my tuition over admittance into Wharton with no scholarship.
I also plan on enlisting the services of "Military To Buisness" when I am a year away from R1 admissions in fall 2020.
Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks!

I apologize, I figure I should add the fact that I will be 31 years old at the time of the targeted application deadline.

Lastly, my BBA will be in finance and I plan on pursuing a focus in finance for my MBA as well.
Pursuing Coporate Finance post MBA.
Hopefully this is detailed enough. Thanks for your time!
