I like your profile--you have garnered quite a bit of leadership experience in the time you have been working which will make you a desirable classmate. Also, working in manufacturing and operations is unique as well, since not as many apply to b-school as those in consulting or finance. For this reason, your perspective will be valuable as schools look to round out their classes with a wide variety of backgrounds. Your have also targeted program which are a very precise fit with your chosen goals. You'd be surprised how many applicants do not do this. With a well crafted application, I don't see why you wouldn't get offers from more than one of your targets. To ice the cake, you seem to have extensive community and XC involvement as well. Let us know if we can help you pull things together.
