CDFI For Business School Preparation From Non-Target Undergrad

Do you guys have any thoughts on what working at a CDFI might do for your top business school chances?

For example, if I'm from a non-target (top 100 US) undergrad with a 3.5 GPA, 700+~ GMAT, and 2 year FLDP (J&J/GE level) + 2~ years working at a CDFI after, would that make me a competitive business school applicant?

I'm wondering how working at a CDFI would be viewed as the social impact is stronger and it's quite unique compared to IB/corp finance etc.
