Hello
SaurabhminochaMore target schools can be suggested based on your Post MBA career goals.
Definitely a good idea to re-take the GMAT.
Even though your career progress and accomplishments are missing, with a higher GMAT your will have a strong chance in USC.
To answer on your question regarding starting the application,
STEP 1- you should write down compelling answers to the regular MBA questions-
1. Why MBA
2. Why Now
3. Why should you be admitted
4. Why your selected university
Applications will open soon and you don't want to be searching for these answers at that time, that could affect your essays and quality of the overall applications.
STEP 2- Speak to your referees and give them a heads up.
STEP 3- Start arranging all documents such as transcripts, work ex letter as your alma mater and past companies may take time.
Without doubt the most critical is Step 1.

I'll be applying for an mba in the US most likely in early bird or round one. Here's a little bit about myself:

Dance performances at university events (if at all that counts haha)
Gmat first attempt- 650 (q49 v31 ir4 awa6)
Plan on taking it again since I was able to score 700 on gmat prep mocks.
Target school- USC marshall and universities around 15-25 ranks. (Kindly suggest suitable target schools, in case this is the correct forum for the same)
Also, I am unsure about when to start the application process apart from taking the gmat. Would be great to hear your views and comments on my profile as well as suggestions as to how I can move forward. Greatly appreciated!
