Please Suggest which other colleges I can apply to
Also, I am from the army background which meant moving from a place to the other frequently.

Please highlight my strengths and weaknesses which I could address in my essays. Looking forward to your responses
Thanks in advance!

Hey there,
Great to hear from you!!!
so let me jump right into the point: You have a gret a profile with lots of potential, and two major weaknesses: GMAT and little work experience. Which leads me to think you have one real good course of action: Retake the GMAT and apply next year. You have done interesting stuff and have a fantastic employer, and if you can up your GMAT by even 30 points it can make a world of difference for you, and that is what I would suggest.
Otherwise, sure, you could go for your proposed school list this year, but wouldn't it be nicer to aim for a stronger school list next year? Or even give yourself the opportunity to get offered scholarship money?
For a consideration about taking the GMAT again have a look here: https://admissionado.com/mba/to-retake-o ... n=mba_blog
I hope this helps,
Best,
