What does it take to make a qualified/outstanding international applicant to M7 B-School?

I am from an emerging country. Think India/China/Brazil/South Korea; I don't make it clear 'cuz I want to see input from various veiws. Things are really different in my homeland from what it is in the U.S. The economy is growing fast for sure, but the industries and financial system are far from being advanced, mature, complex and diversified. I have watched the Billions Series, so that I could tell.

I graduated with a Bachelor of egineering drgree and a Master of finance degree from two colleges. Both are highly respected in that area, and one of them is a local target school for BB's branch offices there.

Just finish my master study and on-board working for a domestic reputated and influential sell-side equity research firm starting next month. Didn't choose IB as a pathway because I am more interested in stocks and industry. I am covering domestic stocks in TMT sector with specification in Electronics Industry(Chips, Advanced Manufacturing, Automobiles, Smartphones, Enterprise Cloud, somthing like that). Feeling good about going through tech companies's stroies all day. Likely to shift to a buy-side AM/HF/Mutual Fund in a year or two. The idea is that, if I want to go for a M7 MBA, senior level working experience in local branch of an repuated global investment management firm like Blackrock/AXA/Invesco/Point72 will be of great help. The recruitment could be selective here but chances exist.

I am thinking about going for US b-school MBA in 4-5 years, simply because they are the best, and I like America(On the Road and The Catcher in the Rye change me a lot). I picture my self as a Pre-MBA ER/HF guy, and would still practice in HF for couple of years post-MBA, and maybe become a tech VC investor ultimatly before retirement. Dont know if I get this wrong: I am kind of liking the lifestyle/influence status of VCs(I interned at one recently), but I don't think one would possess the wisdom to invest in 'THE FUTURE' unless after dozens of year spent in social interaction and grinding, s/he has gains enough sophisicated mindset/skillset about the innovation/technology/society/human nature/big econ trend or other things that could be very abstract.

So I am wondering how to become qualified MBA applicants for M7 with backgrounds like mine? What should be noticed in the next 4-5 years? What can I do to increase my leverage? Will CFA level 2/3 be a help? How to conduct 'Leadership' or 'Social influence' as an analyst working in a financial institution? What really makes a international applicant distinguised from peers in that pool?

Thanks in advance. Anything would help.
