Hi!
I would appreciate a lot if you could evaluate my profile
My target schools are HBS, GSB, Sloan and Kellogg. I have an unusual background (I'm a healthcare professional who leads a huge tech team now), but I am not comfortable with my GMAT score. I plan to apply on R1, my essays are almost ready and I did well on TOEFL.
I am retaking GMAT in August and I really hope to improve my score. But if I don't, I'm not sure if it is a good idea to apply on R1 with my current score.
