Excellent exposure in terms of leadership, have been leading and managing people for the last seven years now
Career progression == trainee TO sr. manager
Now, here come the weaknesses too
1) No international work exposure because my job doesn't demand it all
2) Have already reached an age of 31
Now comes the question Why MBA ?
Want to get into consulting, so my focus would be sales consulting, marketing and strategy.
I have been preparing for GMAT and have been consistently scoring 600-640, but am afraid that this score won't help me in reaching anywhere so am still giving some more time to reach up to 680-700 at least or 700+.
My target schools are
INSEAD
LBS
Oxford
Cambridge
IE
I am sure that i appear for gmat right now i would score around 650 , so should i appear for gmat or should i make it sure that i reach to a level of 700
what should be an ideal score for such profile with higher work experience like mine ? I want to ensure that my profile doesn't fall behind just because of GMAT score , so what would be the ideal score for above mentioned B-schools and given my profile.
How much does an age of 31 affect?
I understand a few aspects of my questions are very relative, but would be obliged it you can just give your individual comments on the basis of your experience till date
Thanks very much for evaluating my profile

"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."
