Hi,
You have an excellent profile. Your work experience is very good. Though GMAT is slightly lower, I wouldn't worry too much as you have outstanding GPA. You should aim high. Don't apply to more than 5 schools (preferably 3) in R2. It takes a lot of time to produce a quality application. Though most of the questions at top business school applications look same/similar, your answers need significant fine tuning to make an impact.
LBS and INSEAD will like your international experience and cross cultural exposure. European schools generally tend to take people with slighly more experience. You might want to consider them. If I were you, I would remove UNC, Kelley, USC, Emory and Smith and add LBS and INSEAD to the list. Speak to few students and alumni at your target schools.

I don't think, you are allowed to choose the city as S P Jain's Global MBA goes like 4 months in Dubai, 4 months in Singapore and 4 months in Sydney. You may want to check their website https://www.spjain.org/gmba

Hello friend,

I saw you profile and I appreciate it that you have such an excellent working experience and academic details. As you told that you have completed B.Tech in ECE and are working in a semiconductor firm but still you may know that in today's competitive market, only graduation degree in not enough to get success in life, all should needs to be a post graduate to face all entrance of organization.
So I wanna suggest you that you should do either MBA in HR or M.Tech in ECE by distance courses because it will save your time and money as well and can provide you flexibility to continue your current job.
