Hello Jon,
I am a 23 year old female. I have 2 years of full time work experience in the social sector. My work entailed leadership development in head masters and teachers in the Indian government schools.
I recently gave my gmat and got a score of 600 with an IR score of 7. I am planning to retake the exam.
I have done my BBA from Symbiosis International University, India and secured a GPA of 3.6. In addition to this I have done level A1 certification in French language, have a good number of extracurricular activities to my credit and have been in a few strong leadership positions as well.
I have a fair amount of international exposure as well. I have been brought up in Canada, persued my studies in India, have worked with the marginalized sections of rural India, and have completed a summer business course from Berlin School of Economics.
Post my MBA I would like to start my own social venture in the sector of alternative education.
I target programs are INSEAD, HEC, and the likes. I wanted to know, apart from retaking the GMAT and securing a much higher score what do I need to do to strengthen my profile? And if I go ahead and apply this year (for sept 2015 intake) what are my chances of being accepted to a good college?
Thank you
Niyati

Dear Niyati,
Wellt he first thing is to improve that GMAT score! That is the most important!
And actually reading through your profile, I think you should wait at least one year more if not more. First of all in the schools you mentioned, the average age of students is about 30, and the average work experience is FIVE years! So I think right now you are a bit on the low side there.
Instead I would suggest that you take your time over the next year to boost your GMAT to at least a 700, as well as work on the other aspects of your profile (more achievements, more promotions, more business and more leadership). As a female candidate in a relatively unique industry (you're not IT!) your profile has potential, but it still needs work to get there, and my feeling is that you are one or two years too early, and that you can use that time to make your profile MUCH stronger!
I hope this helps
