How to strengthen MBA profile 2-3 years prior to applying?

Started working at a T2 consulting firm (focused in TMT strat) this summer, and just wrapped up my GMAT this week. I am most likely going to apply to MBA programs in 2-3 years, and figure I still have enough time to add some things to my profile that may improve my application chances down the line. Ideally targeting M7 schools

Top 25 Public Univ. Major: Econ 3.6 GPA GMAT:740

I know this is a vague question, but I'm interested to see if anyone has opinions on things that could help differentiate my profile. I have considered things like trying to network into a top tech firm (Google, Salesforce, Linkedin) or VC fund (have connections at a few), and make my work experience look more interesting.
However, I am also looking into volunteer work, but I get that doing something random is not really going to move the needle.

Appreciate any insights!

(Also if anyone has any general GMAT questions feel free to ask that shit is still fresh in my mind)
