Hi ackerman80,

Your academics are definitely within the target range for those schools. I think there are some interesting elements in your background to focus on for strong personal essays - I like the theater group volunteering in particular. And you seem to have a strong level of volunteering in your background.

I would advise focusing on really pulling out the leadership elements of your experience both in and out of work. Sometimes those with a tech background can get quite technical in their essays, so avoid that tendency and focus on the big picture of teams, managing and relationships.

Good luck!

Good luck!
