2)Kindly group the school names as ambitious/moderate/safe as per your expertise knowledge.

3)What can be done given this profile to offset my demographic belonging and CGPA to get into FUQUA,TUCK,JOHNSON & STERN, I really want an admit from atleast one of them hope you understand ??

4)Will I be able to get proper credentials for CABM and online classes at extension schools and have required required experience as I am going to site the reason that If I remain in same field it would be less fruitfull in terms of knowledge and experience so to extract maximum out I have to move on and switch Industries to have more wider perspective about Industries and also to further move up the ladder??

Hi Ishu16 and thanks for your post.
I can see that you've put a lot of thought into your choices below and you've done well with compiling your list of schools. I can't specifically answer how you should differentiate yourself from your peer applicants, but I would say that with your background, academic strengths (your GMAT is stellar!) that you are definitely in range for the programs you've listed. I would say that you should focus on applying R1, and work on defining your goals statement a bit more in detail.

Best,
