Hello! Just posting to get an idea on where I stand in terms of school applications, chances for good scholarship and what programs would make the most sense to apply to based on my profile. I was thinking anything between T10-25 range made the most sense but as of right now, not stuck on any specific school. Any advice would be appreciated!

Gmat Score: 740 (Q48, V42)

Professional Certifications:

Work Experience:
Spent first year post undergrad at a well known Defense Manufacturing facility as an Engineering associate. Was a very technical role that I enjoyed and the work-life balance was great but I wanted to work on sustainable energy. So I transitioned to the country's largest Nuclear company where I have been working for the last 2.5 years with a promotion to Project lead where I currently work on different nuclear plant refurbishment projects in Europe. I plan to work here the next year as well so will end up working a total of 3.5 years in this role.
EC:
Community Outreach executive at my "North American Young Generation In Nuclear" company chapter where I go to elementary schools, universities, and conferences to educate and promote STEM careers in Nuclear to the youth in different communities
A volunteer at my local food bank every holiday season and have been doing this ever since I was in highschool.
Event Planner for Community center weekly basketball sessions for students under 18
Why MBA:
I hope to go into Strategy/management consulting as that has been a personal goal of mine. I love the aspect of being able to work with people and network while working on different kinds of projects. Working as an engineer has been fun but I feel very boxed in in terms of the daily responsibilities and the type of projects I get the opportunity to work on, with tasks becoming very repetitive.
