You're on the right track. More professional leadership experience will strengthen your profile as will a strong (700+) GMAT score. Make sure that you can fully articulate your planned post-MBA career path and also communicate how an MBA will impact your plans.

Actually, your profile is pretty solid for your target schools. A higher GMAT score will definitely make you more competitive. Also, do you have any extracurriculars? Finally, be sure that you can clearly articulate your short and long-term career goals (even if they are subject to change).
