1) Regardless of your nationality, your GMAT is too low among your peers in the same candidate pool
2) I agree with ValueInvesting that you need to explain why transfer from buy-side to sell-side - it's seemingly nonsensical
3) IMO front office means what you do in your job generates revenues/profits for your department: so trading strats/desk quant also fall in this umbrella by broad definition
Hey there,
My advice: Wait till next year. Why rush things so much? You don’t have enough time to apply with amazing applications, and you aren’t sure about your GMAT. Instead of rushing things in such a stressful manner, plan to take your GMAT before March and apply with a perfect application for R1 of next year.
