Hi
Elanc,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Your profile looks good on the surface. Starting with stats, your undergrad GPA is good. The average GMAT score of the schools you are targeting is 720+, so if you improve your GMAT by 10-20 points, it will maximize your chances. On the work front, whatever I can see, it seems good. You have been in managerial roles. So, I think you can bring some leadership experience and impact. Your volunteer experience should reflect a collaborative leader and a compassionate person in your apps. Every school does stress on this part. Also, I would recommend including any hobbies or interests you have; this will add diversity to your apps. Your post-MBA goals align with your prior work experience, which is a plus. Make sure to include how MBA from a particular b-school will help you fill the gaps in your profile and accomplish your goals.
If you need any direction/guidance over any aspect of your application and have any specific concerns, you can ask us on the forum
