3.3 GPA, top 30 UG. Still trying to curate my story, which is I guess where I am asking for insights as to what MBA programs are looking for. Plenty to choose from just figuring out the narrative.

Visit the schools, do the meet the alumni/student shit, figure out your recommenders and probably write it for them or like give them the basic structure

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
