The 700 GMAT will definitely help, since frankly the expectation from your applicant pool is at least a 700. You probably know that your applicant pool is a very highly qualified one, and a deep one to boot, with many thousand applicants a year. For this reason, it is particularly important for you to pay very special attention to your essays so you can stand out amongst the crowd. Especially if you feel your application is light on extracurriculars or academics, it is vital that your story resonates with the adcoms. Unfortunately for you, your background will also come across as fairly common. you should focus on what sets you apart form other IT applicants? Have you had any special assignments or achievements at work which exhibit leadership or innovation? Also make sure you tie in your long term vision to what you have done so far. Display passion and good planning and you should have a shot at your targets. Let us know if you need help as you prepare.
