Hello
Ritikarustogi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your immediate priority should be to focus on GMAT and give your best shot at getting the highest score that you can. Taking the GMAT in May/June will help you take a second attempt if needed (well in time for you to apply in the first round and thereby maximize your chances).
While your professional experience looks fine (even though we are not aware of your achievements and leadership exposure), it is the lack of extra-curricular engagements that is a bit concerning. Try adding a few talking points to your profile (eg: involving yourself with a start-up; signing up for Toastmasters, etc.)
Beyond the above, the essays will have to be impactful and you will need to represent you career goals in a very logical manner.
We would like to take this opportunity to offer you a detailed profile evaluation session; should you feel the need to avail of the same, please do get in touch.
All the best!
