Hi there, and thanks for writing! You have a solid profile, with progressive work experience, strong academics, and a track record of extracurricular involvement. Operations, marketing, and consulting are pretty broad - which post-MBA career interests you the most and why? Based on that, I can provide a few more program recommendations. Regarding the GMAT, I wouldn't worry too much about IR - quant and verbal scores are by far what AdComs care about more.

Hello!
I would like some help on deciding which schools I can apply to. I’m giving brief details about profile, GMAT and what I’m looking for in the MBA program. Thanks in advance for taking the time out for this!
GMAT score:
Total: 740
Verbal: 44
Quant: 48
IR: 4
Profile:
25year old Indian Female from a technology background. I’ve completed my B.Tech. from Manipal institute of Technology with a 8.48/10 GPA (Coversion tables say that would be a 4/4 GPA scale, but I’m not sure how accurate that is). I have work ex of 3+ years in supply chain and will be applying for fall next year. Two back to back promotions in the first 2 years post which I changed jobs. I’ve worked for an NGO for three years in college and have done voluntary work post it.
I’m looking at applying to INSEAD as target. Other schools I’ve considered are Wharton, Ross, NUS, IE and HEC. I would love suggestions on other schools that I can apply to. I’m looking to go forward in operations/marketing/consulting.
Another thing that worries me is that I tanked my IR. Does it make sense to reattempt the GMAT since its on the lower side? Or should I just apply with the current score?
