So here's my story - Male Non engineer, Have an experience in sales of 2 years, Quit my job suddenly because it was very monotonus and secondly i always had a passion for marketing but didn't get any scope in companies because mostly corporates don't hire BBA grads in marketing sector, I want to give Gmat and get into a top college which specialises in marketing, but the sad part is I suck big time in quants (just pass marks in board exams), and just to check where I stand gave a mock today and scored 280( Q-19,V-12) which literally broke me into pieces, This is my only attempt this year as I already have a gap year so can't take any more.
Please guide me about how I should proceed from now. Neither my profile is good nor scores.
Any help would be much appreciated thank you.

at this point, you are more likely to get into a masters in management kind of program where you will be a better fit as compared to an MBA. If you want to get into an MBA, then my suggestion is to first and foremost find yourself a job. An employment gap is not viewed favorably in the admissions world. And any increase in this gap will only continue to cost you more and more heavily.

Hi sidharth7510,
If quant is less of a strength, you may benefit from giving the GRE a try. Often, those stronger in verbal tend to prefer the GRE.
As for your work experience, I am assuming quitting your job resulted in an employment gap? If you are able to tell a pretty convincing story, so something else that you were doing in the interim, that will help. This can involve volunteer work, family matters, etc. The important thing now is to figure out the best way to talk around that gap.
Personal MBA Coach has successfully helped many applicants navigate career gaps. If an MBA doesn't look like it's currently in the cards, you may want to consider a specialized master's program in marketing.
