As I am sure you have heard a million times, Indian applicants with IT backgrounds tend to be a very competitive pool of applicants. You will either need to differentiate yourself or increase your GMAT score to be considered strongly for top MBA programs. There are still many good U.S. programs in the top 25 range that you could consider. You should base your decision on location, recruiting relationships and of course the ability of the school to prepare you for your careers goals. If you plan to go into business development, you might want to also consider schools with an entrepreneurial focus.
