So first of all I like your profile! A double UG degree with awesome grades, plus a Masters with awesome grades, plus your work at an oil major as a female candidate puts Top 10 schools in reach.
I don't see any major weakness in your profile. I mean you seem even to have tons of volunteer work.
For your goals, I would suggest at least for the MBA story you continue with Oil. I mean, literally every single candidate wants to go for PE/VC (understandable enough, given the salaries), but as an employee in Oil (esp. a female one) your profile is a LOT rarer, plus you can get a lot more out of your work experience.
I think overall your list is good, even though if you wanted you could also add Rice to your list. Not a top 10 school, but ridiculously good Oil placements (if that's what you want).
Otherwise if you REALLY want Finance, go to NY or one of the other big schools on your list.
I hope this helps,
And if you have any other questions, don't hesitate.
Best,
Jon
