Your score is a bit on the lower side with a little imbalance too.

Profile is fine but need refining in terms of high points.

Extra Curricular needs to be delved more deeply and need hard work from your side.

Overall we need to look for other aspects for a good theme.

You need to lower your expectation to the top 10 to 30 listers.
I am so sorry for your wife. God bless.

Hmmmm. I'm afraid that with a 660 Kellogg, Wharton and ISB are gonna be very long shots for you. Ivey can work though. That doesn't mean you shouldn't apply though! But it does mean that you need to add schools to the list that are more easily in your range to come up with a balanced strategy. And you gotta think what's best for you - either retake the GMAT and wait a bit more, or aim a wee bit lower down. One thing you can do, is focus on programs that might be lower ranked but that are very strong in healthcare.

If you have any further questions, you let us know.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
