Nah, that will make little to no difference. And even if it did make a minute difference, it surely wouldn't be enough to warrant admission to a T20 given your figures. As I said earlier, you should be focused on schools ranked in the 50-100 range (unless of course you retake and raise your score, if possible)

What are you talking about? Your numbers are completely out of range for all of those schools. A resume doesn't "get you in the door". Numbers get you in the door. A resume just helps push you along once you are already inside.

What is your ethnic/racial background & nationality? How the hell would I know if you have a "URM claim" if I don't know what culture you are or what race you are?

Tons of people worked jobs during undergrad. It really doesn't make a difference.
