Hello Experts,
I gave my GMAT today, and score Total Score of 660 (Q47, V35, IR6). I fall short of 10-20 below my average, but I guess a reattempt would not help me much, as maximum I have score my GMAT Prep is 700 on one occassion, So instead of spending my time in adding 10-20 points in my GMAT score, I want to focus on my application process.
I am IT Consultant, from India, currently working in Netherlands from past 1.5 years, and have total of 7 years of Work experience, where I have handled multiple leadership and product management roles. Would like to know information about how can I go forward with application process from here on, I am looking to apply for US and European B schools, for sessions starting in July 2018 and Jan 2018 respectively.
Will really appreciate if I can get some suggestions here, some recommended universities, looking at my career profile, I can answer any questions if needed.

Hi Mishraji,
I like your pragmatic approach. And 660 is a decent score. With your 7 years of work ex topped with international work ex your profile has an edge. You might be late for Jan intake of 2018 but will have to check on school websites. Here's how you can start with the application process:
1. Brainstorming your short/long term goals
2. Introspect and come up with a theme/ strategy of your profile. Your life story if you will.
3. School shortlisting
4. Research your target schools
5. Start writing your application
6. Oh yes ! decide if you want professional help
Here is how you can put a little structure to your brainstorming sessions. Once you have your post MBA goals. Write them down on a paper. Depending on those goals search for a dream job. Divide your dream job into:
1. Industry
2. Function
3. Geography
This will give you a lot of clarity. You will, with a little bit of research online and based on your instincts, be able to shortlist your schools. Shortlist 10 schools. Classify then into dream, realistic and safe. Apply to 5-7 only.
Further, you will also need to factor in your profile including your work ex, GMAT score, community involvement, etc to understand where you really stand in terms of your admissibility. Once you have your target schools you can start with other things on the list. Hope this helps. I would be happy to talk things over a call.
Good Luck !

It is great to get a GMAT score out of the way! While a 660 is certainly different from a 700, your quant score is decent for top 30-35 range of schools. However to suggest specific schools we would need a lot more info.
Undergrad school and GPA?
Demographics?
Company and role?
Extra-curricular leadership?
Feel free to email to discuss further. Scott@personalmbacoach
