Hi there,

You have a great work experience and your leadership skills do show through the positions you have held. So we assume you have great stories to tell for your essays.

Also, you experience is international and spread across countries which is again good. While the length and breadth of your experience definitely shows, you need to spend good time on framing your essays for all the schools you plan to apply.

As the first step, start shortlisting your schools as per your post-MBA goals and your appetite for financing the education. Once done, start working on Round 1 if you plan to give GMAT immediately.

Give your 7 years work-ex, I feel a score of 690-730 will be good. More the better obviously.

All the best and get in touch for any further queries.
