It is worth checking with the schools to see if they can take a late score as many of them would. That said, I would need a lot more information about your profile to determine whether you should apply this year or wait. Age, undergrad school and GPA, work experience, extra-currics etc

Indian,Female, age 25
started as IT professional - 1.5 years, changed domain to Program Management - 1.25 yrs
strong extra-curriculars. - Dance Team head and Intra and Inter college events organizer to name a few.
Interested in Marketing/ Finance.
Specially interested in Luxury Management, but only NYU and HEC offer that.
It is worth applying this year with your profile and if you put together a really strong story for why you want to study luxury management and work in the industry, it could work out for you this year. NYU has a great program for this. Your scores are a bit below their average so it will really come down to the strength of your application. If it doesn't work out this year, next year you will be better off since you can apply earlier and potentially raise your scores.
Good luck and reach out if you want any assistance with your applications.
