Any advices/comments are sincerely appreciated

I am turning 25 in several months, so I consider myself a little bit young compare with all other applicants.

GPA: 3.51 from UCLA with BS in one of the engineering majors (I do have a concern because I received 2 bad grades in my senior year)

GMAT: 700 (Q51, V32) 90th percentile (I'm thinking retake it in 2-3 weeks because this score is below the avg score of top 10 programs)

WE: 30 months upon entering the school next year. I work in project management organization in one of the major utility companies in California. Daily roles include to support senior project manager on managing project's schedule and budget, to develop cost management method based on project's work elements and to manage project related contracts. In addition, I have worked with different department such as law, government relations, real properties, engineering, and licensing to deal with various project related issues; thus I've obtained a comprehensive view on project management as well as leading group on special projects assigned by the project manager.

Extracurricular activities: Volunteer in patients escort dept @ UCLA hospital and play basketball in a weekend league.

Short term career goal after MBA: Step into strategic consulting field with primary focus on renewable energy.

Planed applications: Columbia R1 ED, Wharton R1, Booth R1, Haas R2, Kellogg R2

Okay, with your GMAT you are a bit borderline with those schools. It's hard to say from the brevity of what you wrote what your chances would be, because you really are "on the fence".

For example you write you have experience as a volunteer in patients escort, which is awesome. But there's gonna be a difference if you have been doing this an hour a week for the last year, and if you have been doing this every Sunday for 10 years and are the most senior person. Same goes for your work experience. What stories can we get out? how much leadership can we show? Finally, you should look to find something unique. Cause if the Adcom isn't gonna choose you on grades alone, they may choose you cause you really really interest them, and that's what you gotta aim to do.
