Dear nimisha59,

Based on your post, it appears you have done a solid self-assessment of your profile. You have some positives, like your activities and transcript, but there are some potential concerns, like your GMAT score. I think you have to ask yourself how much the other parts of your application will balance the potential concerns. Likewise, you have to be realistic in evaluating your profile against your target schools' class profiles. I think you have some appropriate schools on your list, and ideally, you want to have the right mix. If you know you are ready to go to business school and the time is right in your career, then you should apply. For other potential schools, I encourage you to read our sticky on school selection.

Good luck,
Lisa
