My Background :
I am an Indian male with 8.5 years experience in sales and account management with best tech companies of the world.I have never worked outside India, though I have travelled to multiple countries.I want to move to consulting and hence planning for MBA. I took GMAT and scored an avg (or poor) 660.I have have a passed engineering with 72% marks. I have a very good career track record and can substantiate that with examples and figures (revenue impact, increase in market share etc.). I am targeting only top 15 schools(mainly LBS, INSEAD, Chicago booth and Kellog) and the R2 deadlines for all of them are in Jan 1st week, except INSEAD.
I need your help in deciding whether I should apply now (R2) with as score of 660 or retake GMAT and apply in R3 of this year or R1 of next year.
My apprehensions :
1. With a score of 660 it will be unrealistic to expect to get into any of the top 10-15 colleges.
2. If I apply in R3, chances of admission would be very less.
3. If I apply next year, then it might be little late in my career (with 10 yrs of exp).
Request your guidance.
