Hi Pranav,
Your work ex is strong. ZS experience and B2B startup experience will help in differentiating yourself from other candidates. But 660 is still low. We know that you have attempted GMAT recently and score didnt go up.
Ideally we would recommend applying with a 680+ to stand a decent chance but if you feel that you dont want to retake GMAT then give you best in terms of essays and keep your fingers crossed. Thats the best you can do.
Before you reattempt GMAT try to figure out the reason for low score. Do you get better accuracy when you take more time. Try to get concepts correct first. Once you get good accuracy then try to retain the accuracy in a timed environment. Also, try to identify weak areas and focus more on them e.g. SC or Probability.
Feel free to contact us for any queries.
