I have never been one to post things on forums or blogs of any kind. I tend to be more passive online and either breeze through the topics posted to see what people recommend and what others are going through to see if they have a similar sort of story as me. So this is entirely new for me and any help whatsoever would be godsend! So here goes...
Just a little background about me. I work in the hospitality industry - more specifically in the Food & Beverage department. I graduated from a hospitality college in the US, worked there for a year as a Manager-in-Training. I moved to India as an Assistant Manager and got an internal transfer with my company, after completing one year, to Dubai.
I have worked for two of the best companies in the industry but I am really looking to change my field... I know that the GMAT, and ultimately getting my MBA would be the best course for me to take. My profile isn't your usual applicant's profile but I know that I have solid real world experience and business acumen. I am currently in the process of overhauling the restaurant I manage - basically everything required to open a new restaurant, i.e. operations, budgeting, business plan (ROI), marketing, liaising with all the departments and outside vendors/partnerships, etc.
My undergrad GPA was approximately a 2.9, which isn't ideal. However, I want to utilize this opportunity to crack the GMAT (I'm aiming for a 720). The first diagnostic test I took through Kaplan gave me a 560... My breakdown was Q37 V30. I am working on my verbal skills at the moment and have brought it up to a 34. The breakdown I am aiming for is Q43 and V45. I am planning on taking my first GMAT in the beginning of September just in case I need to take another one.
Materials used:
Princeton Review GMAT 2016
How to Crack the GMAT 2016
Kaplan GMAT Premier 2016
Magoosh
OG 2016
I am looking for any guidance or materials that I should be using besides the ones that I have already used... Again, I know it is going to be a pretty tough uphill struggle but I am unwaveringly focused on achieving this because I know it is my best chance to get into a good MBA program. I think my overall packet is pretty solid but the GMAT is my golden ticket!
The universities I am planning on applying to are:
Harvard (because, why not?... If I don't apply I feel like I will regret it)
INSEAD
Booth
University of Toronto
LSB (London School of Business)
Imperial College
Thanks for reading this (I didn't realize how long it ended up being...)!

Hi SidMittra,
You've named some highly competitive Schools, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and application plans. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
As far as your GMAT studies are concerned, I have a few questions:
1) How long have you studied?
2) How long ago did you take that CAT?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
