I am skeptical in the following areas:

2. Do I have the USP to get into the programs mentioned above, considering I don't take another shot at GMAT ?? Request you to highlight any apparent weaknesses in my profile.
3. What schools should I focus on. A list of schools reputed for placements in the energy sector (Consulting and Operations).
Look forward to your response.
Thank You.
