Hi, and thanks for writing! With 11 years of work experience, you'll be above the average for students who typically enter those programs, so you'll want to make a good case for why NOW is the right time for an MBA and what has inspired your post-MBA goals. Your list of schools makes sense especially if you aim to work in Europe post-MBA - since competition is stiff for Indian applicants though, it would be ideal if you could boost your GMAT score to 730+, particularly for LBS and INSEAD. Have you had consistent progression in your 11 years of work experience, and are you involved significantly in any extracurricular pursuits? If so, that would further help your chances.

Thanks for the reply.
In my 11 years of career, I've had consistent role progression - from Technical Application Support Engineer to Database Programmer, Project Lead, and then Presales/Business Development Consultant.
I had two years of extra-curricular volunteering experience, which I can talk about.
I get your point on the current 710 score not being sufficient for LBS and INSEAD. What are the chances of getting into the other schools like Judge, Saïd, IESE, IMD, HEC?
If there's a chance of getting into at least two of these listed schools with the current score and background, then I'll stick to this score and apply in Round 2. Else, I can go for another shot at GMAT next month.
Will my chances be bad if I apply in Round 3 for these schools?
