Hi uttamkgulshan,

I agree that since you are asking an admissions question, you should reach out to one of the many admissions consultants here on GMAT Club.

Also, since you do not have any GMAT scoring data, it may not be a bad idea to familiarize yourself with the GMAT and then take an official GMAT practice exam. The results of that exam will provide a bird’s-eye view of your general strengths and weaknesses and show you how far you are from your 720 score goal.

If you have any further questions, feel free to reach back out.

Good luck!
