Thanks for sharing your profile. I think you are in play at most of your schools on the list above but I would say you are coming from a tough applicant pool that typically has higher GMAT scores so if you are looking to improve your profile this is an obvious area.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Your advice is really helpful.
I would certainly consider giving GMAT one more time.
I still need your expert advice as to whether I should focus on completing the application/essay first because 2 deadline for most of the universities than I plan to apply is by January first week or should I give the Gmat first.
I can give the gmat by January end after completing the essays.

Shashank Prasad.
