Hi, and thanks for writing! I assume you're referring to the Top 10-15 U.S. MBA programs, since some of the Ivy League universities don't have MBA programs (and some non-Ivy League universities, like Northwestern and MIT for example, have top-ranked programs). Business schools look at 3 main dimensions when evaluating candidates: academics, professional impact and progression, and personal qualities/impact (often in the form of extracurriculars).
Your academics are solid. Regarding professional experience - it depends on the impact you've made at your companies, as well as the strength of your recommendations. While extracurriculars are not a hard requirement, they can really help distinguish candidates and help them tell a well-rounded story in their applications. Though it's tough right now with the pandemic, you might consider getting remotely involved an an activity that's of strong interest to you (perhaps related to something you did in college).
Since you're applying from a competitive demographic, I would also expand your search outside of the top 10-15 schools in the U.S. Also, since you're relatively young in your career, you might consider waiting a year to apply to make even more impact at work and in the extracurricular activity of your choosing, as that may strengthen your candidacy.
I hope that helps - best of luck!
