Hello everyone,
Profile:
* Indian, Gender, 32 Yrs
* Total 9.5 years of experience at S&P Global (https://www.spglobal.com/en/)
* 6 Years as Software Quality Assurance Engineer & Lead
* 3.5 Years as Product Manager
* Highest Qualification: Bachelor of Technology from an average university in India's national capital with CPI of 69.88%
* Experience: Quite unique experience working in the Innovation lab as Product Manager on technologies like Blockchain and Big Data to create B2B ESG products. Solid referrals.
I was earlier expecting a GMAT score in high 600s, so below was my potential target list:
Stretch Goal: Oxford, Cambridge (Round 2 - Sept 2021 intake)
Realistic: RSM, Imperial UK (Round 1 - Jan 2022 intake)
Backup: ESMT Berlin
GMAT 1: 29Dec2020. Scored 620 due to poor pacing. Score cancelled.
GMAT 2: 13 March 2021 (700 (Q49/V37)
Post MBA goal: Work to merge sustainability practices with technology product management and create products that are good for the world.
Location preference: Europe.
Question 1: In light of my score, should I re-evaluate my shortlisted universities? (again, I am pretty confident that my current experience will be a big advantage)
Question 2: Now I have two options, Go for RSM and Imperial in Round 2 this year, or wait for Oxford and Cambridge for Sept 2022 intake. Any suggestions on which one should I go for?
Question 3: Any suggestions in terms of additional universities that I can consider applying to considering my experience?

Pr3m, as you already seem to be aware, MBA after 30 is tricky. Given this, sooner will be better instead of delaying by another year.
You can also target IMD as well as some other Spring intake programs.
Feel free to reach out directly for any application support and all the best!

Hi Pr3m,
Though the majority of your target schools accept applicants with 30+ years of applicants, it is not worth waiting or trying your chances by retaking the GMAT. Rotterdam has round 2 deadlines on the 6th of April, you will have a decent time to come out with a strong application.
There are other B schools in the UK with ongoing deadlines like IMD, ESADE, St' Gallen, Manchester you can target instead of waiting for 1 more year.
You can also check your Chances for B-schools or DM for professional guidance for school shortlisting.
