Hi, it’s Nisha from mbaMission. I love your multidimensional nature and schools will too – an adventure sports aficionado and cello expert!
Your GMAT score is below the average for the schools you’re aiming for, and I-banks are sometimes known to ask for GMAT scores from candidates as well, so I think the biggest thing you can do right now is retake it for a 700+, with solid balance between quant and verbal. If you do that, and if you are able to communicate clearly in your application 1. the motivation for pivoting to a banking career and 2. your fit for each program based on your thorough research and conversations, you candidacy has potential. Best of luck!!
