Hi Hjort ,
I am pretty confused right now whether to retake the GMAT or is it good enough for my target schools.
These are my target schools and I request your inputs on whether I need to retake or not.
1) Michigan State Univ
2) University of South Carolina
3) Minnesota-Carlson
4) Thunderbird
5) Chicago GSB-- I know this is a long shot becoz of my GMAT but they have their range from 640-720 so I assume that I can technically apply.
My profile:
Undergraduate: Electrical Engg (Univ of Madras, GPA: 3.7)
Masters: Biomedical Engg (Univ of Tennesee, GPA: 3.83)
Currently working at the Mayo clinic as a R&D associate in Clinical Research. ( will have just above 2 years of exp when starting work)
GMAT: 660
I plan to specialize in international business/ Supply chain management. My dad started a healthcare sourcing company back in India and we have been functional for over 2 years and doing good. My aim is to gain expertise on the finer details of business as I do not have any formal training and my ultimate goal is to go back and base myself in India and run my company more efficiently.
Volunteering/Community camps: Actively participated in Blood donation camps and walks.
Leadership capabilities: President, IEEE students chapter
Vice-president, students dramatics association
President, National Sysmposium organizing committee at my undergraduate institute.
Thanks

I would consider retaking the exam but it really depends on what you have to sacrifice in order to retake it. Your portfolio is intriguing- I am surprised that you include Chicago but do not include Kellogg as well. I would consider including some elites/transelites/near elite schools such as Michigan.

Thanks Hjort,
Apart from the schools mentioned above, which elite/near elite schools you think matches my profile? Also, do you think I have a chance at Kellog? I am willing to apply but have to make sure the school matches my interests and also be prepared to make arrangements to finance my study.
Please advice.
