Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I just took my GMAT two days ago and I don't know where to begin as far as the application process is concerned. I really can't asses the relative strength of my application and, in addition to this, I'm being bombarded by a ton of contradicting information from various sources (the internet, friends, family) about the set of schools I may or may not be competitive at. I'm sure that these sort of topics are quite common on this forum and are probably quite boring to most of you. So basically I would greatly appreciate either (a) advice/guidance from you guys or (b) a link to a highly reputable consulting company that specializes in this sort of thing.

How do you have no relevant work experience if you graduated 3 years ago? What have you been up to since then?
And then the big questions...what do you want to do with your MBA? What jobs do you want? And do you have location preferences?
Stats-wise there are many schools you can get into...now you just have to figure out which ones best suit your needs.

My original plan was to pursue and a PHD in economics but realized, fairly late, that that wasn't the right path for me. After that, I really had no idea what I actually wanted to do. I just knew that I wasn't interested in academia. Unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of any of the internships available to me in my undergrad program, and after graduation, I was involved in a terrible accident which shattered my right hand. The surgery put me out of the labor-market for a while, and after that I couldn't find a full-time position anywhere. I've been working two part-time jobs since 2011, going on the occasional interview here and there.
I realize that this part of my application is problematic, I just don't know to what degree.

I don't have location preferences; I'm willing to literally go anywhere. I would like to get into finance, something related to business valuations or risk management.
