Request you to please evaluate my profile for a top MBA program and advise me on below mentioned queries:
1. What are my chances of getting into my target schools (Safe & Tough)
2. For an Indian male, Is my GMAT score low for my target schools
3. Is my age will be a factor for my target schools

Appreciate your time and effort.

Age and GMAT are not going to be as big a factor for one year programs, especially since they do not have to include the admissions numbers and profiles in their full time rankings statistics. I would say you have a good chance for consideration by these targets, but let us know if we can be helpful as you apply.
