Hello,

Can you please help to evaluate my profile for MIT Masters in SCM program:

GMAT Score : 710 (Quant: 49, Verbal: 36, IR: 8)
Nationality : Indian

Work experience: (In India and GCC)
> 9 years (3 years in Automobile Sector (India), 6 yrs in FMCG in Middle East- out of which 3 years with a global MNC )
> Currently at a managerial role in Demand and Supply Planning managing a team
> Size of Business managed - 200M USD

Education:
> B.E in Mechanical Engineering (74% with honors - in top 5 of the batch)
> MBA specialized in SCM (Gold Medalist - Batch topper with CGPA of 3.4/4)
> APICS CSCP certified (Certified Supply Chain Professional)

Extra curricular
> Adjunct Faculty in a B School for a term in 2015 - taught 2 courses in SC
> Qualified member of MENSA - Society of high IQ people (world's top 2%)


My major constraint is that I will be applying in the 3rd deadline this year so I know it going to be tough. So would request your comments based on the profile strength for a 3rd deadline application.

What should I focus on in my SOP?
Should I retake GMAT for better score?
Does the designation of recommend-er matters or is it just the content which matters?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Regards
