Hi Neha012 , Thank you for sharing your profile. Starting with the stats, your undergrad GPA is good, and I suggest you improve your GMAT score by 20 points to maximize your chances. On the work front, you have a good 5 years of experience. To assess your chances, I'd like to learn more about your work experience, such as roles and responsibilities you've held, the impact you've had, innovation, your capability, leadership, and so on. Regarding your ECs, they appear to be interesting. You can talk about your certification, any leadership responsibilities you've held, hiking, traveling, and so on. When you pick ECs to present in your applications, pick smartly. As a result, it is not necessary to move mountains or achieve big things in this area, but it is critical to highlight unique and interesting ones. What are your post-MBA goals? Your goals will help you narrow down b-schools. If your work experience is strong, you may consider T20 FT MBA programs. You may want to read an article on how to choose the right mba program .

Hi Neha, as someone (a female) from an automotive background myself, I would encourage you to focus on narratives from your professional life where you demonstrated strong leadership skills and managed conflicts with resilience. Wrong selection of stories for essays is more common than talked about. Some ideas to dwell upon for finding the right stories -
1. Have you worked for an automotive multinational? Did you get any international opportunities at your company? 
2. Were these situations where you were faced with an uphill task of expediting projects, meeting deadlines with limited resources, resolving conflicts between stakeholders, influencing senior management to take suitable decisions, mentor a team on something extremely important for the company and so on. What was the outcome in each case (your rewards and company's benefit) and how did others perceive your leadership? What greater opportunities did you get after?
3. How have you grown through all these stories you could think about? Have you faced any situations where you had to let go of certain perceptions and preconceived notions to become a better manager/leader/ team player? 
4. How do you feel a woman in the automotive sector? What has your experience been? Is your place of work mostly dominated by men? What larger vision do you have in this regards? What can you do to make this industry more inclusive?

Your ECs are decent(not exceptional), but you can balance these well with your stellar overall narrative.

Best wishes
