Hi vishalpathak,
Your questions are probably better answered by Admissions Consultants, so I'd recommend that you contact experts in that field (some of them post in the Admissions Forum on this site). The short answer is that the top programs have their pick of the best applicants every year, so those schools can be very selective and the application process is competitive. "Realistic" is an interesting word, in that the Top Business Schools can only accept a certain number of students; this means that 70% - 95% of applicants will be rejected. Most applicants will want to have a 700+ overall score with a high Quant Scaled Score, although there's some "wiggle room" if other aspects of your application are extraordinary.
