Hi
SANNIDHYAB,
Thank you for your post and for sharing your profile. I require a lot more information to help with the process of school selection and the process of strengthening your profile. You did not mention your career ambitions, the geographic region is too wide, and you do not mention when you plan on applying. As to school selection, you can reference
this article to help you narrow down.

Good luck on your GMAT on August 29th, and your application thereafter!

To set context - I am an Indian male working in marketing field with a B tech degree (GPA=3.7). I gave my GMAT on 28th July and scored 650. Because of the low score I will be giving it again on 29th August. I am able to consistently score from 700 to 720 in my mocks. Currently, I am facing a hurdle with the selection of B schools. I have 1 year of work experience and since score is valid for 5 years I want to get done with the GMAT ASAP.
My whole Work Experience has been in Digital marketing. I have around all the certificates which google has listed for digital marketing. Because of my presence in the marketing agency my company was able to endorse Google adwords certified. Along with that I have been used as a filler for my company where I have done modelling for the products which the company endorses. Also, I was involved in various outreach and strategy development programmes like convincing the local businesses to incorporate affiliate marketing. There are a lot of other things as well but I hope this paints a picture. In addition to this I am now the manager in the company so will be leading a team of 7 to 11 people singlehandedly for all the marketing campaigns.
In college I was the founder of an NGO club which head raised funds around Rs45,000 in a year. I addition to that I was the coordinator(head position) of the astronomy club in the college and was responsible for various activities. I have been in town hall and sang on auspicious occasions like Republic day in front of high dignitaries like city collector etc.
Keeping in mind the score and my profile till now can you suggest me some B schools across US, Canada and Europe (mentioning all the three because I don't know which one to choose) which can be targeted in this range. I don't want to be too ambitious and fill the universities which are out of my scope. Also, I don't want to be blinded by the rankings which are available in the market for the B schools. Since GMAT allows us to choose 5 schools of our choice for free, I don't want to waste that opportunity. But I don't have enough information to take a wise decsion. Therefore I am seeking for help.
It would also be really beneficial if you could also let me know what should I do in order to further strengthen up my profile.
