Hi, I've just started to prepare for GMAT through online resources, and want to settle on a study plan.
I'm a working professional, so want to pace my prep a little slower for optimal results. As I understand, taking GMAT anytime after mid-August 2020 will be a bit late for targeting Fall 2021 semester.
I have about 2 years of work experience as of now (1 yr as Data Scientist + 1 yr as Business Analyst [in a unicorn startup]), so should I be applying to schools with ~2 years of work-ex in sep 2020? or wait (and give myself more time for gmat prep too) and apply with work-ex of 3 years in fall 2021?

cheekycheeky, in general, the average work experience is in the 4-5 years range at most top MBA programs. So, applying next year would be ideally better.
Here is a good timeline plan you can refer to.

Hi,
I agree with Manish that waiting another year may be ideal for you. It will also allow you to remain employed in a turbulent job market, while adding on to your work experience. Your skills as a data analyst will only become more relevant as you work on more important projects/ client work.
Taking the GMAT early in the application process has several advantages. You will have enough time for a retake if need be. If you achieve a stellar GMAT score (720+) within your first two attempts then you have a big burden off your head, and can spend time building the rest of your profile. So even if you don't apply this year, continue to prepare for GMAT and get it out of the way as early as you can
