Hey there,
Thanks for writing!
so the short of it is that your profile is unique and interesting and has lots of potential for an MBA application. But your GMAT is far too low for the level of schools you are aiming at (you'd need at LEAST 80 points more). My suggestion would be to retake but NOT to rush. What I mean is that if you aren't 100% sure you will hit at least a 700 cancel your test and aim to apply next year round 1 (which in all honesty, is probably the wiser course of action anyhow, given that deadlines are fast approaching and you still need to take your GMAT).
Here is an article about Indians retaking the GMAT which might give you some insight into things: https://bit.ly/B613Mgc
Best,
Jon

Thanks Jon.
I am currently readying my applications and do intend to take the GMAT again. Fingers crossed.
With my current GMAT score and the profile, what other schools do you think i should (could) target.
