Hey there,
I’d love to help you out but without more info it’s gonna be hard. Where do you work? What do you do? How quickly have you advanced? Do you have any leadership? What are your great achievements?

Also at 21, Im guessing you have max, 1 year of experience. An MBA is not really relevant until you have three years of experience (although if you are preparing now for two years later, BRAVO!) :)

As far as the GMAT goes, a 650 is relatively low for an Indian candidate, and with that score you'd be looking at school ranked 30 and under.

Best,

Hey there,
Well for an MiM you have enough experience, although in that case the GMAT retake is even more necessary. Because the schools (which are BTW almost all exclusively based in Europe) that offer MiMs have little info to go on, so the GMAT becomes even MORE important.

So basically, the GMAT is your key and to figure out what schools you would be good for take a look at the GMAT averages of schools and wee which one are about your GMAT or where your GMAT is up to 40-50 points higher than the average, and that will be your school range.

I hope this helps!
Best,
JF
