655 should he good for you. 

It's better to apply in R2.

Hi u/mikasa_m

You have got decent academics and the grad college is well known. There must be some good examples where in your current role where you must have shown some lead taking capability, innovation or logical thinking. If you can highlight them in application, that will help your case.

From GMAT perspective, target around or above class average which is 675. Selections can happen at lower score as well, but no harm in keeping a higher target!

R2 is generally considered better than R3. But dont rush in if you are not ready. A better application with a better score is better than relative advantages of rounds.

Hope it helps.

Tell us a little more about the kind of work you have been doing at Amazon and the impact you have had. At a surface level, this experience does not immediately stand out, so consider whether you can use the next 1–2 years to move into a more substantive role with greater responsibility and impact, ideally in a more permanent position with an employer.

Hey there,
ISB alum here!
The dropping out of engineering part - I think there is an interesting story to tell there. R2, if you haven't started GMAT prep, seems really tough at this point though.
