Hey there,
So sorry for the delayed answer here dude. I was on the road for a while and juuuust got back.

But lemme answer your post:

Sooo I'm afraid your school list is pretty unrealistic. The average GMAT at these schools is about 60-90 points higher than your GMAT. That, plus the fact that you are an Indian IT applicant will make things relatively tough at this school.

Soooooooooo you have basically two choices: 1. Retake the GMAT 2. Moderate your school list (and there are pleeeeeenty of totally awesome schools out there that will fit you).

If you want to consider the retake, have a look at this post I wrote a while ago, about Indian applicants and retaking the GMAT: https://admissionado.com/mba/resources/t ... -the-gmat/

Otherwise, if you are gonna go for it, as is, here are some thoughts about choosing an MBA: https://admissionado.com/mba/choosing-the-right-mba/

I hope these help!
Best,
Jon
