Questions
1. Is my GMAT score good enough?
2. Should I apply now or wait for a couple of years and give a shot?
3. Which are Schools I should target?
4. Where should I improve?
Hey there!
So first things first. If you really want a good evaluation I'm gonna need a LOT more info about you, especially information about you at your workspace. What you have done, how many people you lead, etc.
But let's start with your main questions - At 28, there's no advantage to you waiting. Actually now would be the perfect time to go. If you truly intend to hit the schools you are aiming at though, you WILL need a higher GMAT.
I would suggest reading through these two articles which will give you a sense of how competitive things can be for Indian applicants, and the GMAT.
For now, I don't think you need to improve on anything but your test scores - and it's good because you have a bit of time. You are quite late for applications this year, but if you start planning now for R1 next year, you are perfectly on time
I hope this helps!!!
Please do let me know if you have any other questions/thoughts.
Best,
