Hi casssssie,
Thanks for posting your profile. I like that you have a lot of strengths - excellent academic track record (kudos for graduating top of your engineering class), competitive GMAT score, robust work trajectory (early promotion to boot), and active in your community through volunteering.
As for whether the schools on your list make sense, I think they do, although these are still competitive schools. As you pull your apps together, be sure to describe what motivates you to be passionate about your career goals. Why MBB consulting? What is driving you to pivot? And how will business school help you achieve your goals? As well, don't hesitate to share your personal stories - these will help differentiate you from the other candidates.
If you can articulate this compellingly in your essays, that would be the key to your application success. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
Sincerely,
Debbie
