[Hi Anubhay and thanks for your inquiry.
If you feel confident you can retake the GMAT and raise your score by at least 30 points, then do so as your score is a bit below the average for your demographic at the top schools. (Please note Indian nationals with your GMAT score and lower are admitted into top schools; it is just a little bit more difficult and they need an even stronger ‘wow’ factor and application story.)
I see no reason why you shouldn’t be competitive at the schools you mentioned, particularly those outside of INSEAD, IMD, LBS, Chicago, Darden, and CMU with well-prepared applications. With a decent ‘wow’ factor and well-prepared applications, you would be a slight stretch at the schools I just listed.
Best of luck with your applications!
Sincerely,

Hi David,
Thanks for your advice. About the GMAT score I dont think that I have enough time now to prepare well for it and give it so as to boost my score 30 points. So I would have to prepare my application with this score in mind. I would like to know if I take your consultation , what would be the fee and would that increase my chances of getting admitted to chicago, insead, imd, lbs , cmu etc. Thanks again for your advice.
