Profile Review: 25F / 750 GMAT / 3.8 GPA / Chemical Engineer

I'm posting on behalf of my spouse. She would plan on matriculating in fall 2020. Age and work years are current, not at matriculation. Here's her profile:

Work experience: Engineer for ~3 years at a top 5 chemical company (1 promotion). Currently employed ~0.5 year as engineer at a smaller packaging company. Undergrad included co-op at a top 20 CPG company.

Extra curricular: 7 years with a diversity-based engineering society - I was chapter VP in college and still involved in volunteer leadership, coaching student members, presenting at conferences, STEM outreach events. Created an employee resource group and host monthly events at current job.

Undergrad school/major: Big 10 engineering school, chemical engineering

Race/nationality: White

Sex: Female

GMAT Score: 750 (49Q/42V/8IR/6AW)

Undergrad GPA: 3.78

Goal of MBA: I'm interested in management roles in product, operations, or strategy. I'm considering post-MBA rotational development programs to help me figure out the best fit for me.

Target schools: Ross, Booth, Kellogg - I'm looking to stay in the Midwest during school and for post-MBA jobs. I'm leaning toward prestigious schools if I can get accepted and can afford it, but I'm open to other options if they open the right doors.

Besides acceptance to my target schools, do I have decent odds at receiving good fellowships/scholarships? I would love to be chosen as a Forte Fellow.

Your wife has a competitive profile for her target schools. She should also consider MIT Sloan, Haas, and Stanford, if she's willing to consider leaving the Midwest. I also think that she has a good chance at becoming a Forte Fellow if she gets involved with Forte, which is an excellent organization.
