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

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
