deferred MBA

Hello! I am a senior who interned at MBB this summer and will return as a full-time next year. I am thinking about applying for deferred MBA programs. 3.9+ GPA, has not taken the GMAT yet but got 1580 on the SAT. I have pretty interesting and unique internships but do not have strong ECs - do MBA admissions look at those? also, wondering what GMAT scores do I need to have a shot at HSW?

I am thinking about trying either round 2 or round 3, any suggestions? if I got rejected, will it hurt my chances when I re-apply in the future? THANK YOU!

FYI: East Asian female
