I am from India, aged 24, and scored 710 on my exam. I have graduated as an engineer in 2019 and was aiming for admission in 2022, which will give me work experience of 3 years. I have missed R1 deadlines due to illness. I am also considering 2023 admission so that I can improve my profile and score and then aim for even better schools. I prefer 2022 admission, which would allow me to have an extra year in my hand but if there are any major disadvantages/advantages then would consider 2023.
My doubts:
Is there any disadvantage in regards to securing a job with only work ex of 3 years as opposed to more?
Is there any disadvantage to securing school?
How would my age play into the culture of the B-schools?
PS: I am planning the reattempt in November and am working on the application on the side. So if the score improves it can be used in R2.
My main doubts revolve around work ex. as seen above.

Responding to your questions:
Q: Is there any disadvantage in regards to securing a job with only work ex of 3 years as opposed to more?
A: There is no disadvantage. The most common years of work experience at top MBA programs is between 3 and 6 years after completing undergraduate studies. An extra year of experience can be beneficial if you use it wisely. That might include earning a promotion/gaining more responsibilities at work, building out your extracurricular activities, retaking the GMAT/GRE, etc.
Is there any disadvantage to securing school?
A: I am not sure what you mean. Can you rephrase?
How would my age play into the culture of the B-schools?
A: You would fit right in based on my response to the first question. You'd probably be on the slightly younger side, but by no means not of the norm.
Based on what you have described above, I would consider waiting a year rather than rushing the GMAT retake and your R2 applications. It does become slightly more challenging to apply as a reapplicant especially from R2 of the previous year to R1 of the next year.

Admissionado my doubt about advantages/disadvantages was in specific terms like, is there any filter in various companies, in the USA, regarding work ex prior to MBA or is it a major factor in base salary negotiation.
regarding school, I meant that with almost an identical profile and the only difference being work-ex, do I increase my chances of landing in a better school? Obviously, I do not intend to keep my profile the same.
