Aayush170691 - your GMAT score and branded employers are good angles.

Some clarifications:

1. What's the motivation for a second MBA, and what are your directional career goals post MBA?

2. Which rounds/ intakes are you looking at?

3. What functions have you worked in at the FMCGs, and have you worked with teams abroad? Schools such as INSEAD particularly value international exposure.

4. Any involvement in extracurricular activities, ideally post academics?

FYI, here's the GMAT (Classic) averages and average age/ work-ex at top MBA programs. Here's a list of 10 key factors to consider while choosing your B-school

Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out for a deeper chat.

With your impressive GMAT score of 695 and solid work experience in commodities trading and with FMCGs, you have a strong profile.

Top schools that value diversity and have a focus on international business could be a great fit for you. Programs like INSEAD, London Business School, and IMD are known for their global perspective and value diverse professional backgrounds. Additionally, schools like Kellogg, Booth, and Harvard also consider work experience highly and would be worth applying to. Your experience with reputable companies like Coca-Cola and Perfetti Van Melle would strengthen your candidacy. Best of luck with your applications!
