Hello Pal,
To be Honest, 520 is on the lower side. Average GMAT score itself is around 550 and with GMAT of 520, you stands below average. Your 7 years of experience will help you to climb the ladder, however, a better GMAT scores will open lot many opportunities for you. With 520, you might not get Grade A and possibly grade B schools as well. Still, you may give it a try and if you happens to be lucky, you'll nail it. If not, write GMAT once again and try to score better.
Best Wishes,
Suyash

P.S: opinion may vary person to person, this is purely a my personal opinion.
