Businessconquerer Thanks a lot for your response.
My Preference is as below:
School Wishlist
1. INSEAD
2. MIT
3. HBS
4. CBS
5. Wharton

Your profile is well suited for INSEAD if you can manage to get a 720.
Every other school is extra competitive and we don't want to risk the chances just because of a low GMAT and an overall great profile, do we?
720-740 seems to be your sweetspot. Then it is all presentation and luck!
And why not kellogg????

Dear All,
I hope you all are in your best health.
Background, Timeline & GMAT
Please be informed that I am an Indian Male 35-Year-Old with 10 Years of Global Work experience in Oil & Gas construction.
I Worked so far in Singapore, India, China, Indonesia, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia and currently working in the UK.
I do not wish to pursue EMBA due to personal reasons, Hence I wish to go for a full-time MBA & planning to appear for the GMAT.
So Far I attempted both practice Tests on the official site, but I couldn’t complete any section in the given time limit & end up leaving 2-4 questions in all sections with a score of 470 (QR46, VR12) & 490 (QR45 & VR14). My RC is extremely poor.
Recently I come to know about GMAT club hence registered here five days ago.

Seeking your kind advice on the below factors.
1. What could be the GMAT score I should Target? Also, since I am working, how much time (per day/Total duration) it requires to get a decent score?
2. Whether I will be accepted in the schools at this age?
3. My Engineering degree is in % hence I am not sure how to convert in GPA.

Your suggestions are welcome and well appreciated.
With due Regards,
Your new club member

Thank a lot for your kind advice, I understood that INSEAD is great, and that is my first preference.
This list is pre-estimated in a way to kick off my study, depending on the score obtained, I shall revisit my list.
