Just for the records my scores in Practice tests were.

Manhattan5 660
Manhattan6 730
GMAT Prep1 710

I think you are fine. Maybe verbal could have been a 37 but I think 710 is more than enough to get you looked at for MIT etc. And getting looked at is the least you can ask for. The only problem is that your demographic (Indian + engineering + IT) might work against you coz that demographic usually scores very high on the GMAT. Still, if there is something that distinguishes you from the rest (leadership, community service etc.), 710 is more than enough.

Congratulations.

Do you have leadership experience at work and outside of work? Focus on that and not the GMAT score. You've crossed the GMAT competency threshold. Now you must cross the leadership and community development threshold.

Good luck on your applications

"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."
