A few thoughts on your profile visat:
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
- Top 10, 710 - no go am afraid. GMAT retake is a must. That is even more important given the NIT pedigree; your NIT/IIT peers easily score in the 740+ range am afraid.
- The work profile will be your claim to fame. The transition you seem to have managed is fantastic and will also beget the question of why MBA - the jury's still out there if you need it to be either an entrepreneur or a PM! Entrepreneurship is a very high risk, high gain thing - so unless you've really thought it through and can defend it, think again.
- The ECs arc looks decent and continuous. Will be good to understand the scale/impact too however.
- Your experience is above the average but still in the median 80% range; so I won't say that's really a deal breaker at all.
Hope this helps some.

Hi MG4MBACrystalBall,
Thank you for your helpful feedback. I totally agree that GMAT retake is a must for me. I am very confident that I can score 740+ as I was scoring 730-40 in the mocks. But I want to apply for the 2020 intake and my worry is that retaking GMAT would take me atleast another month and then I won't have enough time to work on my applications. What is your opinion?
Would I be able to apply to these colleges in Round 1 after retaking GMAT? Or should I figure out other colleges that might work for me?
