Hey Dude,
Good to hear from you!
So, your profile is overall quite nice and there's some good stuff in it. However H/S/W will be a real hail mary for you (very tough
). First of all, the GMAT - average Indian GMAT at H/S/W is like 30 points above the regular average GMAT, meaning 760! I know, it's crazy. But it's like that. Second of all, school - the very vast majority of Indian candidates making it into H/S/W are IIT grads or have done something so super amazing that you read their names in the papers.
So, my initial suggestion would be to drop the idea of applying to H/S/W for now (again if you hit that GMAT mark, then it's worth trying even if a long shot). It's hard for me to say WHICH schools you would be good for without more detail about who you are, what you have done, what school you went to, what your GPA was, etc. etc. But let's say that with a 710+ you would likely be looking at schools somewhere in the 10-30 range (again, this can shift depending on the other details in your profile).
so that's for starters. If you have more detail or an actual GMAT score, we can refine this a bit and start getting into thinking about which schools would indeed be good for you,
Best,
JF
