Hi Nehaa21, thanks for writing in and congrats on your good GMAT.
You're in a highly competitive category, though helped by being a woman in engineering, and so I would say that your biggest things to tackle are differentiation, leadership building, and goal clarification.
Differentiation - this is so important when in any "overrepresented" category. You'll set yourself apart by exploring what sets you apart from others, and highlighting your special qualities and experiences that others can't describe. If they drop your essays on the floor, will they realize immediately who wrote it or will it sound like many others?
Leadership building - I think it's good that you've gotten a promotion, and it sounds like you work in teams, but showing how you've been a leader and made an impact on your work is critical. Where have you saved the day?
Goal clarification - You say your goal is to work in management consulting/tech - in what capacity, and why? which is your preference and what problems do you hope to tackle? Do not forget to link these goals to yourself and the programs in question!
Hope all this is helpful, good luck!
Warmly,
Julie-Anne
