Hi Admission Consultants
Could you please help me provide a direction about my applications?
I have applied to Kelley and Purdue in R1 but I am not sure of if I'll get the interview call. I am now comptemplating of waiting for one more year to improve on my GMAT score and profile in terms of work-experience, and extra-curricular activities.
Is it worth waiting for one more year to try for my target schools or settling for a lower ranked school (if I get selected this time) would be just fine given that my primary focus is job opportunities after MBA??

Hi Naval- I am former Kenan-Flagler adcom and I can say with these stats here you will have a hard path for admission- not impossible but you have no extracurriculars to set you apart and just 3-4 yrs work and the 700 GMAT is not going to pop out of this pool. You may fare best here at Purdue.
Certainly you can try to spend the next year working on GMAT and also if you start now- in a year you can have more compelling extracurriculars- we offer a professional development program where we work with clients for a year or more before submitting and do an audit for clients on all areas that matter- we have several former adcoms like me that can help you do this.
