Hi everyone,

Date of Birth - 5th April, 1990
Gmat - 660 (Q - 44 V - 37 IR - 6 AWA - 5.5)

Work Experience
3.5 years internship (for CA) at Deloitte in the statutory audit department
2 years post qualification experience at a private limited company (Startup) with exposure to following areas:
1. Financial Advisory
2. Corporate finance
3. Raw Material Procurement (for grain based distillery)
4. Handling Creditors
5. Managing Payments
6. Preparing Budgets etc.
(I know the experience is quite diverse, but this is one of the perks of working at a startup)
My Queries are as follows:
1. Application to ISB
I know i have not got an adequate Gmat score, but cannot retake the test before the application deadline (i have given my Gmat on 31.10.2014). So, i have decided to go ahead with my current score. Do I have any chances based on my profile? Also, i know i am short on time for the deadline and would like to hire a consultant to help me with the essays and application process. Can you please suggest someone based in Mumbai, India?
2. Application to international B schools
As my chances in ISB are slim (as far as i know), i would also be applying to international B schools and for that i am keen to retake the Gmat Test. Can you please suggest by which date, latest, should i re appear so as to be able to apply on time and also get some study time to improve my score. Again, i am short on time on this front as well, so would like to hire a consultant to choose an appropriate school and for preparing my essays and application.
I understand that i am a bit short on time for both my queries, but i want to get done with my MBA admission in this session only. I have taken a sabbatical from work, so i would be able to devote all my time to my application and essays. Also, please suggest a consultant who can provide me a package for both my queries at a reasonable cost.
