Your score is good enough to apply to ANY of the schools you mentioned. It's the Indian Tech (male???) background that will be tougher to crack.And from here on, that is your greatest mission.

They are likely gonna have a lot of applicants with a similar background as you, so the first thing you gotta ask yourself is: what makes me DIFFERENT? What makes me unique? And you need work really hard to make your stories stand out.

Hi,

Gmat score wise you are in good position. It's a good score for the schools in your list. However GMAT alone won't determine your chances of admission; beyond the academics will also help you in determining your candidature and your work experience plays a vital role as well. In general most of the Indian applicants are from engineering background with a good 4-5 years of work experience. So you would need to differentiate yourself from others. Start thinking what makes you unique and what's that 'hook' that will be key to your application. Make sure you follow the 'show rather than tell' principle so that the admissions committee could really understand your strengths and differentiating factors Although it is not just the work experience that counts but also what you did there like-what were your achievements, what initiative you took, what changes you drove in your workplace etc. So you need to ensure that in 5.5 years of work experience you have demonstrated the skills business schools are looking for. This could still put in a strong set of essays for you.
