Hi agadodia
- Your school selection was off last year and it is still not perfect at your current GMAT score.
- Try and raise the GMAT by 20+ points to have a better shot at the schools you are looking at.
- As a Test Engineer, you may also be perceived by some schools as not having enough business/management exposure. This needs to be addressed in your essays, if it was not already.
- Are you currently in India or the US? It seems like it is India. How long did you work in the US for?
- Your acads are quite strong and you have a Master's degree as well. With a 710, you already have the intellectual horsepower to be able to get to a 730 or above in say 2 months of studying. Some R1 deadlines are feasible. That will also put you in much better shape for your target schools.
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.

Thanks a lot GyanOne for your views and guidance. All your points are on the same lines as I was thinking.
I should have been more specific- I am currently working in the US in a leading semiconductor and telecom company in California and completing 5 years this Sept.
For the management experience, I am hoping to portray the growth in my responsibilities along with some accomplishments like establishing a team in India, mentoring, leading features, etc.
Along with a busy full-time job, I think 3 months preparation for GMAT will be more realistic and achievable- which would mean missing most of R1 deadlines.
Is it advantageous to apply in R1 than in R2? Also can you please suggest some schools I can target based on my profile.
Thanks again.
