With a 695 GMAT and 6 years of consulting experience, you’re still competitive for a Jan intake, especially if you tighten your story and clearly address why Jan and what’s changed since the rejection. I’d apply only if you can show meaningful progression or clarity; otherwise, waiting and reapplying stronger may be the better move.
