Hello,
I am a software engineer in India with six years of experience in software development.
I recently appeared for GMAT exam. My score is 650. My score split is verbal=31, Quant=48, AWA=4.5
I am working with "3DPLM software solutions" since July 2008. My current job is focused on research and development of CAD tool for hi-tech industries and automobiles giants.

Before 3DPLM I was working with PATNI computers. There my profile was team lead, and sometimes domain expert and requirement analyst. My job and responsibilities there was to lead team, make project estimation, requirement gathering, customer communication, product delivery to customer, and get customer feedbacks on product. During my stay at PATNI I had to make frequent trips to customer site at Japan.
Now I wish to change my job roles and industry.
I am very interested in the field of strategic consultancy to technology firms and hence I am ready to invest one year for MBA. I am interested in LBS, INSEAD, ISB, NUS, and HKUST.
Can you tell me if my profile is suited for the schools I am targeting and if I should target any other school?
Thanks for the help.

Your score is a bit of worry for a few schools. However with a strong application which requires homework on the essay part is required. The work starts from exploring your chances of the bucket of good bschools you should apply to. Its a rigorous procedure. The point is that you may fall in the middle 80 percent range of GMAT scores of all these colleges but how can you really score more in the essay part. Shine and Differentiate.

There is a way to critically understand the value in your own profile, and identify and extract the most important and persuasive parts- their key areas of competitive value - and consolidate them into clear application themes. Adequate, honest personal diagnostics and profiling is the difference between a generic applicant and an interesting one. The bottom line for the admissions committee is to feel they have 'met' and like the candidate,and they can only feel that if the applicant knows him/herself well enough to present candidly.

You need to improve that GMAT score. Unfortunately, the GMAT score is more important for you than for other candidates, due to the sheer number of Indian IT applicants that you are competing against.
