Hi! In looking over your profile, a few things catch my attention. Your GMAT score is within the range of schools you are considering, but given your background, you might consider taking it again. There are so many IT candidates from India applying to business schools, and many will score well into the mid-700s or higher. You are also young - only 23 - and you have two years of work experience. If you feel that you have strong enough professional accomplishments to tout in you applications, then applying now is OK. But if you don't think you've done enough in your career to date, you might want to consider waiting another year. Lastly, you have good activities from college, but how about now?? What you do with your life outside of work will play an important role in your business school applications.

Best of luck,

Rachel Beck
