What's your goal?
My blanket advice is to apply after about 3 years of WE unless you have a really good reason to go right now. I think you'll fare better in admissions and get more out of the experience. You can only use the b-school card once, so don't just "get it over with"

I can't really tell you why you should want to go to business school. Most people either go because they require it to advance in their current career or they want to change careers. All of your apps are going to ask you some form of "what are you going to do with this professional degree and why is now the right time to get it". This is one of the most important parts of your application.
Look, all your stats are obviously great and I'm not trying to discourage you. maybe the schools will respond well to a young applicant with an otherwise perfect profile. But don't get it just to get it, you know? You can only do it once.
