Canada MBA dreams :)

Hi friends,

I wrote my 1st attempt on GMAT a couple of months back and scored 620 (Q50,V24). My plan was to retake by Dec end and I was working very hard to get at least a 680. Unfortunately, some medical conditions and other constraints (excuses) stopped me from retaking. I am on plan B now: I'll apply to some Canada B-Schools by Jan end or mid-Feb and then think about the retake depending on their calls. Actually by then I am sure I will recover completely. I only want to apply to colleges where I will really go, if they invite me.

Now I am basically starting from the scratch, right from selecting MBA programs to writing SOPs to arranging for recommendations (I think I already have two good Samaritans). Please help me selecting programs where I stand a chance. Please help me with essentials I need to know in order to apply in Canada. I am confident with the help of awesome GMATClub folks and my hard work I will complete the mountainous job before time (No, I am not going for application consultants anymore after MCB declined to help)

My Profile:
Undergrad: B. Tech. (mech) from NITK, Surathkal (A top rated tech school in India) with 72.5% (Distinction in all Semesters)
WE1: Senior Equity Analyst 7+ years (Market research, Investing, Trading activities, Technical Analysis, and Risk Mgmt for NASDAQ/NYSE stocks. I trade Google, Apple on daily basis )
WE2: 1 year as a Derivatives Trader. Traded Eurodollar, 2-yr Treasury Notes on CME, CBOT etc.
WE3: Few months as an IT prof. at IBM (I am no IIM )

Career Objective: In short term, I would seek a role of a Research Analyst in a Buy-Side firm such as Asset Management, Private Banking firms in Canada. By leading a team of enthusiastic members, I would like to explore the untapped opportunities in the market.
My long term focus is a Fund Managing position in an AM Firm. My dream is a C-suite role in an Investment Firm such as Blackrock, UBS, Allianz, Vanguard etc.
Why MBA: One needs to jump in water to learn swimming. I have already done that and made myself seasoned of my game. I now need the touch of a master to take my career to the next logical level (Swimming olympics ). Jokes apart, I have to work hard on this most common and most perplexing question.
Why now: Many things to say, not organised. NEED HELP.

Pls give your sincere feedback on my profile. How far could I go? Which schools should I target? I have considered John Molson, Sauder, Haskayne, McMaster, Alberta etc. I am not sure about Schulich, McGill, Rotman as my GMAT score is poor. HEC Montreal is over for international applicants

I have some savings but definitely looking for scholarships. Pls feel free to discuss any aspect of application process or ask a relevant question. All suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks
