Hi MJ,
Apologies for replying late.
You have a decent profile & avg. GMAT/GPA. With 5+ yrs. of work experience, you are in a perfect stage of your career which mostly b-schools look for. A low GMAT score can certainly be offset by submitting a good essay and working hard on your application and interviews. With the given information, you can also target NUS, Nanyang, HKUST, INSEAD, Warwick, Manchester, Cass, Cranfield & Imperial. You can also try your chances in b-schools by clicking
https://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool . As the avg. GMAT range of above schools fall between 590-720, you have fair chances of being selected.
So now, you should focus on your application essays & interviews. This is where you can demonstrate your leadership qualities, professional achievements & other aptitudes. Most schools see a combination of all these things to grant an admission. Even the scholarships depends upon how well you position yourself in essays & interviews.
Let me know in case of further queries or PM me your number to have a detail discussion over profile & selection of b-schools.
Cheers!!
