Currently a freelance DJ (Hip Hop, House and Commercial genres) and a freelance Content Writer (last 1 yr)

Scored 640 (Q48 V29) in a mock GMAT test from GMATPrep software w/o preparation last week (Normally am good in Verbal from my past experience and performance in other competitive examinations, should be able to perk it up!)
Target score 750+ for July attempt.
It's a journey from 640 to 750-- and if you seek Wharton or Yale you will want to be closer to the latter. For Tepper, HEC Paris, Rotman, NUS and ISB you can be a little lower-- but aim for 700+ still.
Schools in mind: Wharton, Yale SOM, Tepper, HEC Paris, Rotman, NUS and ISB.
Post MBA Goals: Consulting at MBB, OW post which Id like to set up a consulting boutique with expertise on various disciplines of business
For consulting you will want that higher GMAT score regardless of which program as consulting likes GMAT superheroes... I think your unusual DJ activities gives you a bit of a spark factor that might help-- think about how you can add value to the community at the schools on your list. Also- hopefully you have some promotions in your work as that will help to show progression. Do your homework to understand WHY and HOW each school can help you achieve your goals. _________________
