Hi, and thanks for writing!
a) Should I retake the GMAT to increase the score for MBA?
That depends on the schools you are targeting, but in general yes, since you're applying from a very competitive demographicb) what are the schools I have a chance of getting selected?
At this point, since you have less than a year of work experience, I would wait 3-4 years before applying to be a competitive candidatec) Or Should I apply in MIM? If I apply what are the schools I can target at this score?- If I apply, I will probably apply post to Feb as my Management Training get completed in Feb.[/quote]
