Applying To B Schools

Hi All,

I am preparing for GMAT and hopefully will be giving exam in August.
I have few queries which I wanted to clarify.

1. I am looking for EMBA schools in India and UK. Some of them has got the application closure date August/September. Do I need to wait till my GMAT results has arrived?

2. I have noticed that there are some admission consultants available? Is it a good idea to go through admission consultants?

Thanks,
