Hi,
My goal is to attend a full time MBA program in the US or UK. I am planning to apply to round 2/3 admissions cycle.
My profile is as follows:
I have taken the GMAT last week and scored 620 (IR 4, Q 45, V 28).
Presently, I plan to retake the GMAT next month and am consistently scoring 670-680 in mock tests.
Indian Male
Age: 28 Years

Class 12 - 85% AISSCE in Saudi Arabia
Chemical Engineer from a premier Institute in India (UDCT).
College Grades: Not good (59%)
I would like to mention that I had a debilitating illness just as I was about to start college and thus have a couple of gap years between my high school graduation and Undergraduate studies. How would this affect my admissions/applications?
Work experience:
Project Management, and General Management
Duration: Total 4 Years till date
1. Role – Project Engineer
Tenure-3 Years
Project Management experience at a leading Multinational Engineering, Construction and Procurement company in the oil and Gas Sector.

Extra Curricular-
Actively participated in organizing, designing curriculum and teaching underprivileged kids and kids with learning disabilities of class 3-9 at a NGO in Mumbai for 2 years.
Request you to please evaluate my profile and advise me on below mentioned query:
What are possible target colleges I can apply to and which program would be the right fit for me?
Appreciate your time and effort.
Thanks in Advance!

What are possible target colleges I can apply to and which program would be the right fit for me? Here's a way to look at top 50 programs by GMAT-https://poetsandquants.com/2015/03/24/gmat-scores-up-at-10-of-top-25-schools/3/
And it would help to know your target concentration or interest area and also what is your ideal post MBA job. I think some of the Texas programs might be interesting: Rice, SMU, Texas A&M and then also maybe Purdue, Pittsburgh, Penn State

Few points:
1. As far as the gaps are concerned, it shouldn’t be a botheration because it happened in distant past. Moreover, you can explain the gap in optional essay if this gap is captured somewhere in the application.
2. You should get a score close to 700 at least to offset a low GPA. If your illness spilled over to your college time as well and affected your GPA, then you can explain the same in the optional essay.
3. As far as target schools are concerned, filter the schools by GMAT, as suggested, and see which one of them are better fit for you in terms of location, post-MBA industry you want to work (Google the school’s employment report), and other factors that may be specific to you.
