Hi Robert and thanks for your inquiry.
The fact you graduated in 4 years won’t help much unless you graduated with significantly more than the standard 120 credit hours.
Your GMAT score is probably fine for your demographic group and I assure you that even where the average GMAT scores have crept above 700, the admissions committees are still willing to give full consideration to someone as close to the mean score as you.
It is not necessary that you take business classes and your GPA is fine, especially since your major was engineering. Any courses you would take should probably be at the graduate level and if you were to take too many business classes, it will diminish your need for an MBA.
I would be careful on if and how you present your world travels. If they were not work related and do not contribute to your story, you will risk coming across as privileged.
Finally, the ‘quality’ of the undergraduate school does not count for much -- so long as it is an accredited U.S. school. (There are a few overseas programs that the admissions committees’ country specialists are trained to look out for.)
If you have a good ‘wow’ factor to discuss in your applications and you can demonstrate some good career progression at Lockheed Martin, then yes you will certainly be competitive at a top 10 school with a well-prepared application.
Sincerely,
David Petersam
