Indian female with an engineering background
GMAT:690(Q:48,V:35)
Undergrad GPA: 9.66/10 (~3.86)
(Ranked third in my dept (~300))
Undergrad major: Electronics Engg
Minor: Computational Math
Extracurricular: Former international martial artist and a martial arts instructor, national team captain,couple of college clubs, tech fests etc.
Volunteering: taught self defence to 500+ school going girls, launched a citywide anti-tobacco campaign, currently teach English as a foreign language to local house-makers.
Work exp: Interned at a major asset management firm for 6 months, and accepted a full time role thereafter. Total work exp (incl internships) is about 12 months. Although the domain is software based (because of the engg bg)
Others: a couple of coursera projects in finance, a virtual internship project in investment banking
Quick question: I am aware that the GMAT is on the lower end for USC,but I don't have enough time to retake it before the R1 deadline. Should I consider postponing my application for R2, or should a 690 coupled with other factors be good enough?

As you have identified, your GMAT is low for USC. The university focuses a lot on GMAT score as well as undergrad institution. Since you don't have time to retake the test, I would apply for Round 1 and hope for the best. If you get denied you can always check in as the process comes to a close and see if anyone dropped last minute and if they would accept you as a replacement. Depending on the goals of the program (quality vs tuition) you can luck out. This might be a tough strategy with USC though.
