Hi,
I recently took the GMAT for the second time and sadly only marginally improved my score. A thread on my GMAT attempt is here:
second-attempt-failed-again-feeling-lost-help-206554.html
My target is 1-year programs at European schools such as ESADE, SDA Bocconi etc.
After my latest GMAT fiasco, I'm really divided whether I should consider another attempt or just try my luck with my present score and start working on my applications and somehow make my profile stronger?
I'd appreciate some guidance as to whether I have to shot at getting into my target schools with my present score or it'd make sense for me to strive for a higher score and make a third attempt at the GMAT?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hey dude,
Before I can answer you we need to contextualize your GMAT. Meaning your profile isnt GMAT alone. You could be a coder with a 640, or a manager in industry leading teams of 50. So I need more info about you, your goals, your schooling, your GPA, your work experience, your acheivments, your leadership and volunteer work..... well, everything!
Get back to me with more detail!
Best,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the swift response. ?Appreciate it. Below are my details:
I'm 30, Indian, Male. Bachelor in Commerce from University of Delhi (3-year degree). I'm not sure how to convert my scores to GPA but I'd say they are low.
I've nearly 7 years of work experience, primarily in advertising and marketing:
1. Event Manager for a company in New Delhi, India. Regularly managed a team of 10 and at times nearly 40 people during events.(2 years - started as an executive and got promoted to manager in a year).
2. Switched careers. Copywriter with an advertising company. Got promoted to Account Manager + Community Manager + Lead copywriter 8 months later. Managed a team of 6 everyday. Handled all advertising and marketing efforts in India for one of the biggest and one of the most iconic liquor companies. Worked here for 2 years.
3. Moved to Canada as a permanent resident. Couldn't find a managerial position initially and worked in a background administrative position with the local health authority in Vancouver for a little over a year.
4. Started working as Marketing Manager for a web marketing startup in Vancouver, BC. While working there, started my own little advertising/marketing firm in Vancouver (started it in March 2015).
Unfortunately, I've been off-work for the past 5 months as my father had a stroke with resultant hemiplegia and having no one else to look after him, I moved back to India to be his primary caregiver (and I still am).
Volunteer work:
I pitch in at a local animal rescue society in Delhi, helping them with their digital marketing efforts and of course, rescuing animals.
In Vancouver, I was the group leader for a popular local meetup.com group, managing all its activities.
As for goals, I'd like to see myself working as the Brand Manager or regional marketing head for a global brand. Or return to my advertising business and expand it internationally. I believe an MBA will help me acquire the necessary skills to make the next jump up in my career.
I think I've covered the major points. If there is any other info that'd be needed to evaluate my chances, please let me know. As a side note, I should be able to achieve Canadian citizenship within the next 6-7 months.
Again, thank you Jon for taking out the time to respond on my thread. Really appreciate it.
