Hello RyMBA27, thanks for your question.
With a 700+ overall GMAT and 80%+ on the verbal and quant scores, I think you could take a shot at the top ten, but mitigate risk with some safer choices, as well.
Your GPA is solid, and I like the professional progression. In terms of extracurriculars, what you’ve done post-college weights more than what you did as an undergrad, but you’ve got some interesting experience (especially that crew chief role!). Remember: extracurricular activities need not be limited to official community service. You might also speak to your passions and interests as vehicles through which you have done good for the world.
In the end, your competitiveness will come down to the quality of your leadership experience in and out of work. Can you draw upon “moments” when you truly led: influenced individuals and organizations, drove results, took initiative?
Finally, you haven’t mentioned post-MBA goals. It is critical to demonstrate to the admissions committees that your desired career path necessitates an MBA.
Best of luck,
Brian
