Hello there,
so very good to hear from you good sir.
Now the first thing I have to say is that it is really important that you have realistic goals in your schools, and my first advice would be for you to work over your school list. Many of the schools on your list have GMAT averages that are 100-120 points above yours, and you don't have any chance of getting accepted. I know this is hard to hear, but if you realize this going in, you will save yourself lots of time and money. Out of all the schools on your list only Melbourne and maybe Boccioni might be possible. The others are all out of range.
So the first thing to do is to look at one year programs (most of which will be in Europe) and find schools where the average GMAT is between 590 and 640.
either that, or what you can also do, because you have a good and long career is to aim instead for an EMBA, which tend to be far more flexible with GMATs than full-time programs.
I hope this helps,
Best,
Jon
