Thanks for sharing your profile information. A couple follow-up questions: what does your UG GPA look like (and what school did you graduate from)? I like your hobbies, but what about any involvement activities/community service?
As far as next steps - I think you should first take a step back and determine what you want out of an MBA. What are your short and long-term goals? This will help assess your fit for certain programs. Also, when are you trying to apply? In general, a 660 GMAT score is aligned for schools ranked between 18-25, but this also depends on your UG GPA. Hope this helps, but looking forward to hear back from you on the questions above to see how we can further assist you.

I am based in India. I have done B Tech IT from Vellore Institue of Technology. My under grad GPA is 9 out of 10.
Unfortunately, I have not done any activities/community service.
I have just recently joined a volunteer organization but this was done not for MBA but I was feeling down post my recent divorce. I havent started contributing yet to the organization and would not like to add this as there is no contribution until now.
Short term goal:
I want to change my line by switching to IT consulting (as I have IT base) or HR(as I like helping people).
Current job is fine but I am not finding it challenging me anymore and is not holding my interest.
Also, would like to broaden my business knowledge.
Long term goal would be to be a upper middle level manager at a multinational company
I would preferably like to apply for 2016 admission but if required willing to apply for 2017 admission provided I cannot make it this year.
Please suggest the colleges I can apply for and whether I can make it for 2016 admissions? Or do you suggest to improve profile and then apply for 2017 admission?
