Hi, Veritas Prep team!
I request you to evaluate my profile for programs US B-schools (ranked between 5-15), Rotman and ISB.
GMAT: 730 (Q50,V38) IR-5, AWA-6
Academics: B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from an NIT in India (GPA- 8.15/10)
Work Experience: I have recently completed 3 years. I was recruited by a fortune 50 company, which is a leader in most of the products in its portfolio, for its leadership development program. Have worked in manufacturing operations (vendor development) and procurement roles. Currently providing strategic sourcing consulting to internal process partners. Have first hand experience of a New Product Introduction.
Post MBA goals: Strategic consulting in the domain of operations and supply chain or roles based purely in operations and supply chain.
Volunteering: Was the co-founder of my city's chapter of an NGO. Worked for about 10 months, had to give up because of demanding work hours. Recently started volunteering for another NGO. Have volunteered through CSR channels of my company as well.
Hobbies: Photography (Am a selected and active GettyImages.com contributor and have won a few competitions at college level)
On retaking GMAT: I am a little concerned about my IR scores. Also, if I retake the GMAT, I am sure that I will not be able to score more than 750-760 and that I will not be able to retake it before mid-August (and I will have to write TOEFL as well after that). Should I retake the GMAT in such a scenario to improve my prospects for the schools that I've mentioned?
Also, could you please mention a few programs that will be a good fit for me?
Any advice would be of immense help! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your profile. You have a good profile with your stats being right around the average of top programs. Your work experience will also be MBA ready and aligns well with your career goals. Your GMAT is generally great but for your applicant pool will be seen as Ok. Where you can stand out is in your essays so it may make sense in really spending some time to write some breakthrough essays and focusing on this area. As far as schools I would take a look at Kellogg, Ross, Fuqua, Yale, Tuck, McCombs as a few programs that may be of interest
