Thanks for sharing your profile.

You have a unique profile that bring the element of diversity to your target programs. However, as you are aware your GMAT score is well below the target range, and may cause concern on your ability to handle the academics at the MBA level.

I suggest you consider using GMAT test prep services, mastering some easy to medium concepts can greatly boost your GMAT scores to get within the range of scores for your target programs.

You may also consider taking up pre-MBA courses to help prepare you for the MBA courses. Mentioning this, as well as highlighting examples of your accomplishments that demonstrates academic capacity should also help.

Wish you all the best!
